He then gave several auditions but failed to get good work. In 2017, he auditioned for the Hindi web series ‘Jamtara – Sabka Number Ayega’ (2020), but it took almost three years to release. In an interview, he talked about the same. He said,
I auditioned for Jamtara: Sabka Number Ayega but it took three years to release. In 2014-15 I even thought of quitting and even did a part-time business which failed. Thankfully, I passed that phase as my heart and soul was into acting and I couldn’t think of doing anything else. Those years were tough, in fact, very tough. But I got full support from my brother, sister and friends. Finally, the release of Jamtara (2020) turned the tide. Meanwhile, actors like Amit Sial, whom I consider my mentor, boosted me.”

- In an interview, Anshuman said that he was a director’s actor. He further said,
As an actor, I do give my best and work on my character and all the three directors I have worked with have been wonderful. I strictly go by their vision as I honestly believe that cinema (or series) is a director’s medium. Last year, after the release, the first season lockdown happened and everything came to a standstill. In that period, I religiously worked on my craft. This time, I had to go to my hometown, Mor Mokama (near Patna) after a tragedy happened in the family. So, I am with them and hope to go back as things improve and shooting starts.”
