Sangay plays the role of a cop named Juju in the film who encounters Shah Rukh Khan’s anti-hero avatar and has an intense fight scene with him. While Jawan is a film about soldiers, Sangay is the only one who has real life experience of being a soldier. He was part of the Bhutanese Army about 2 decades earlier. While in the army, Sangay got fascinated with fitness and bodybuilding and thus decided to quit the Army. He even won the title of Mr Bhutan and competed in many other fitness competitions the world over. Sangay is an accidental actor who was cast by Salman Khan in his film Radhe where he played a negative role.
Speaking of his film debut, Sangay said, “Even in my Bollywood debut, nothing was planned. It was my destiny and Salman sir's kindness that I got the offer.” Speaking of his career journey, Sangay told a news portal, “I think my entire transition from being a young kid to being an army officer to a bodybuilder led me to become an actor. It wasn't my dream or ambition to become an actor, I accidentally landed into the field of acting.”
