Bollywood actor Riteish Deshmukh who is known for films like “Housefull” and “Grand Masti,” says he is bored of doing comedy films. Riteish, 35, is known for his comic timing and has won several awards for best performance in a comic role.
“I am bored of doing comedies and more than that, I don’t understand what new roles should I act in,” Riteish Deshmukh said in an interview.
The actor seen in Sajid Khan’s “Humshakals” said he has tried doing different genres of films in the past like “Naach” and “Run” but the movies did not work and hence he did more comedies which were accepted by the audience.
“‘Humshakals’ is exciting for me because I get to work with Saif, whose comic timing is totally different from mine, so our combination is interesting. I also got to work with Ram Kapoor and Sajid has given me great films in the past,” he said.
The actor’s next release after “Humshakals” is Mohit Suri’s “Ek Villain” co-starring actors Sidharth Malhotra and Shraddha Kapoor, and he is happy with the response that his look in the promos has generated.
“The reactions I have got for the film have been positive. I sense excitement about my role and people are talking about it. What films I do in future depends on how well ‘Ek Villain’ does. I am hopeful about enacting different kind of roles,” he said.
Ritiesh Deshmukh said both of his upcoming films were challenging but in different ways. “‘Ek Villain’ was mentally more taxing whereas ‘Humshakals’ was physically challenging, as one of the three roles I am playing is of a mad guy, which required more energy and was loud.”
