Making A Career Out Of Flop Films, Randeep Hooda Has Proved Talent Is Greater Than Box Office Numbers
Thousands of people come to Mumbai with the dream of becoming an actor. It takes several years for most aspiring actors to bag their debut role. That one opportunity is their only shot to seize everything they¡¯ve ever wanted. If that turns out to be a flop, what¡¯s next?
Actors don¡¯t always get a second chance to prove their talent. From Kumar Gaurav to Rajeev Khandelwal, there are many of them who faded away into oblivion despite being good at their craft. And even if some get lucky and bag another opportunity sometimes unfortunately that doesn't work out too and then their career is destroyed forever. Many star kids like Mimoh Chakraborty have failed.
Even superstars like Shah Rukh Khan don¡¯t get many chances. After Jab Harry Met Sejal and Zero, the King Khan hasn¡¯t signed any movie in the past one year.
But Randeep Hooda is different.

He did commercial potboilers like Kick as well and once again stole the limelight along with Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Salman Khan.
In Laal Rang, he attempted a rather complex role of himself, a Haryanvi Jaat guy, who gets involved into the black market of trading blood, a business that¡¯s as real as unreal it sounds.
The movie didn¡¯t gain commercial success, but it still remains to be one of the best films of his career and Hooda himself agrees it was indeed a landmark movie in his life.

He is so passionate about acting that he gave three years of his career to a film on Battle of Saragarhi that never saw its completion.
He said that the film changed him for the good and that he became a better person in an attempt to portray the role of Havildar Ishar Singh.
Hooda¡¯s beautifully judged and controlled performance in films like Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, Main Aur Charles, Jannat 2 and Murder 3 gave him the limelight he deserved.

Randeep Hooda¡¯s next film is a Hollywood project titled Extraction in which he is featuring alongside Chris Hemsworth, David Harbour, Golshifteh Farahani and Derek Luke.
