The Pakistani policeman's role in the superhit movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan with Salman Khan brought him a new identity in the Bollywood industry. Bakshi has worked with seasoned actors like Govinda, Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor and all the Khans. He also appeared in the movie Panipat as a very controversial character, Suraj Mal. It was a short role of ruler of Bharatpur in Rajasthan, India. In the film, Maratha warrior Sadashivrao Bhau (a character played by Arjun Kapoor) asks Surajmal for help to defeat the Afghans, but he demands the Agra Fort in return. As his demand remained unfulfilled, he refused to help Sadashivrao Bhau.
