Randeep
Hooda
is
busier
than
ever
currently
working
double
shifts
on
two
Dharma
Production
films,
but
the
actor
is
not
complaining
as
he
says
he
has
been
waiting
for
good
work
to
come
his
way
for
a
long
time.
After
making
his
debut
with
Monsoon
Wedding
in
2001,
Randeep
had
to
wait
till
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbaai
(2010)
to
hit
the
big
time
as
the
films
in
between
did
not
work.
The
36-year-old
actor
is
currently
shooting
with
Rani
Mukherjee
for
Karan
Johar's
short
film
for
the
project
Bombay
Talkies
and
Ungli
directed
by
Rensil
D'Silva.
"I
am
in
the
middle
of
shooting
for
the
short
film
with
Karan
Johar.
I
am
doing
double
shifts,
for
this
film
and
Ungli
directed
by
Rensil
D'Silva
and
produced
by
Karan.
"These
days
along
with
the
Bhatts
I
am
also
an
integral
part
of
Dharma
productions,
they
know
where
I
am
24X7.
It's
a
bit
tiring,
but
I
sat
at
home
too
long
to
be
tired
with
the
fatigue
of
hard
work," Randeep
told
PTI.
The
actor,
known
for
intense
roles
in
films
like
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
and
Jism
2,
says
he
is
happy
with
the
films
being
offered
to
him
these
days.
"Maybe
there
aren't
enough
actors
with
enough
depth
in
our
industry,
that's
why
I
get
all
these
roles.
I
am
very
happy,
I
enjoy
doing
these
roles.
I
like
roles
where
I
have
some
meaningful
interaction
with
the
material
and
with
myself.
I
think
there
are
a
few
actors
of
my
generation
who
have
the
unique
combination
that
I
have,
and
I
would
like
to
play
on
my
USP,"
he
said.
Being
offered
more
mainstream
commercial
films
now,
Randeep
said
his
recent
Box
Office
successes
has
increased
the
range
of
projects
being
offered
to
him.
"With
Once
Upon
a
Time...
my
career
got
resurrected
and
then
Saheb
Biwi...
happened.
But
Jannat
2
and
Jism
2
helped
me
achieve
commercial
success.
My
last
six
films
have
been
successful,
whatever
part
I
may
have
played
in
them.
That
has
become
a
big
casting
factor,
though
I
get
cast
more
for
my
acting
abilities
than
my
standing
at
the
Box
Office."
The
actor
will
next
been
seen
playing
a
photographer
in
Murder
3,
alongside
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
and
Pakistani
actress
Sara
Loren.
The
film,
directed
by
debutante
Vishesh
Bhatt,
will
hit
theatres
this
Friday.
"The
story
is
about
live-in
relationships
and
trust
issues.
It
is
a
very
interesting
take
on
how,
in
today's
age,
monogamy
is
not
the
only
option,
or
whether
we
are
even
meant
for
monogamy,"
said
Randeep.
It
is
a
remake
of
Spanish
movie
The
Hidden
Face
and
Randeep
said
the
film
has
been
adapted
beautifully
for
the
Indian
audiences.
"It
is
very
much
in
sync
with
the
problems
in
relationships
today
and
it
unfolds
at
a
brisk,
impactful
crime
thriller
format,
which
is
very
engaging.
It's
not
just
about
a
man-woman
relationship.
Vishesh
has
adapted
the
film
to
our
requirements
wonderfully."
The
previous
films
in
the
Murder
franchise,
starring
Emraan
Hashmi,
have
been
big
hits
and
Randeep
said
the
third
film
won't
disappoint.
"Murder
3
will
meet
the
expectations.
The
mainstay
of
the
series
has
been
great
stories
and
great
music.
Murder
series
makes
stars
and
not
the
other
way
around.
So
I
am
hoping
we
three
become
stars
after
February
15,"
said
Randeep.
