Rohman Shawl, who has so far frequented the Instagram pages of paparazzi every time he stepped out with his ex-partner and close friend Sushmita Sen, has a new identity now. “People didn't know me in South but now they call me Asifwani,” says Rohman who played the antagonist in the recently released Tamil film ‘Amaran’ starring Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi in the lead.

Rohman says that his phone is flooded with messages from people who have watched and loved the film and his performance. “Everybody's telling me, we hated you so much on the screen that now we love you in person. I think that was the biggest compliment,” the actor says talking to mid-day.com.
