After getting his diploma from known Barry John's acting institute he gave his first audition for a role in Neerja. He got selected as the negative lead.

Early life and Career

In 2016, he made his debut on the silver screen as a Palestinian hijacker in Sonam Kapoor starrer Neerja[3] which "made more than just heads turn in blink-and-miss-Bollywood". Displaying a skull cap, customary beard and kohl rimmed eyes, he thrusts his way onto the aisle, terrorizing passengers in the Pan Am Flight 73, taking them hostage. Unlike his on-screen role, Zahoor doesn’t believe in the popular but misconstrued definition of a terrorist.[4]

Zahoor left Kashmir in 2005 to study and simultaneously pursue his goal. He got a diploma in 3D animation and filmmaking at Maac. He walked the ramp for various agencies in Chennai and Bengaluru during his struggling years.[5][6]
