The versatile actor from Assam was cast as the Chief of the Indian Intelligence agency which he played with “much elegance”.
Forbes lauded his performance for holding his own in a movie that has a star like Akshay Kumar playing the leading role.
“…it is not easy for non-central characters to grab attention. When the central character is essayed by Akshay Kumar, the task becomes tougher. Adil Hussain, however, makes that possible,” said the Forbes article.
Forbes further added, “His character walks a thin line and Hussain performs it with much elegance.”
