¡°Maybe they didn¡¯t like my acting.'

When he was further asked about Bollywood¡¯s cold reaction to his Hollywood project, he spoke to Pinkvilla and said:

¡°I was asked that Bollywood which lauds a poster launch, a teaser launch, or a blink-and-miss appearance of an actor in a Hollywood film had not said much about my work. I responded to that saying that maybe they didn¡¯t like my acting man¡­¡±

And now, after a two-decade career, Randeep, who has had only 50 releases knows what he wants from here on. A TOI report quotes the actor as saying,

Instagram

¡°I want to do more action films now. I enjoy that genre and want to expand myself as an actor where I need to prepare and change myself in every way and experience another life. I feel fortunate that 20 years down the line, filmmakers find me exciting and unexplored. I am offered challenging work, and I hope it continues."

Over the years, he spent time working in theatre with veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah's troupe Motley.
