He
belongs
to
a
political
family
and
expectedly,
keeps
himself
abreast
with
the
goings-on
in
the
political
arena.
"I
have
to
keep
myself
updated.
I
can't
stay
without
it,"
Riteish
Deshmukh
smiles.
So
why
didn't
he
ever
think
of
joining
politics?
"My
brother
is
in
it.
Also,
I
strongly
feel
that
there
would
be
a
clash
of
ideologies
if
two
people
from
the
same
family
dabble
in
it.
I
am
glad
I
am
in
movies,"
the
talented
actor
reveals.
In
the
recently
released
Do
Knot
Disturb,
Riteish
was
cast
with
Govinda,
an
actor
known
for
his
impeccable
comic
timing
and
in
his
next
release,
Aladin,
Riteish
gets
to
share
the
screen
space
with
none
other
than
Amitabh
Bachchan.
The
challenges
are
only
getting
bigger
and
bigger.
"It's
an
honour
to
work
with
these
actors.
I
thoroughly
enjoyed
the
process.
In
fact,
I
learnt
so
much
by
merely
watching
them.
But
it
was
tough
stepping
from
one
set
to
another.
Do
Knot
Disturb
is
a
madcap
entertainer,
while
Aladin
is
a
fantasy/adventure.
The
roles
are
different
too,
but
when
you
have
such
brilliant
actors
as
co-stars,
things
do
get
easier," Riteish
states.
Riteish
singles
out
Aladin
director
Sujoy
Ghosh
for
the
expert
handling
of
the
subject
material.
"I
didn't
want
to
judge
Sujoy
by
his
past
films.
He
came
to
me
with
a
solid
script
(Aladin)
and
I
agreed
to
be
a
part
of
it
instantly.
Also,
let's
not
forget
one
thing.
If
people
like
Mr.
Bachchan
and
Mr.
Dutt
(Sanju)
can
repose
faith
in
his
abilities,
who
am
I
to
question
Sujoy?" Riteish
says.
Riteish
now
looks
forward
to
Milap
Zaveri's
Jaane
Kahan
Se
Aaye
Hain,
which
stars
him
in
the
principal
lead.
And
those
who've
seen
the
rushes
of
the
film
feel
that
the
Milap-Riteish
combo
is
sure
to
win
hearts.
