Randeep
Hooda
is
making
his
Hollywood
debut
with
Extraction,
which
is
all
set
to
release
on
Netflix
today.
The
actor
recently
revealed
that
he
had
been
offered
plenty
of
franchise
films
earlier,
but
chose
to
decline
them
as
they
ridiculed
India
or
were
stereotypical.
Extraction,
however,
will
set
a
new
example
for
Indian
actors,
in
the
digital
era.
While
we
have
seen
Irrfan
Khan
and
Anil
Kapoor
in
big
Hollywood
releases
earlier,
Randeep
will
be
seen
in
a
pivotal
role,
with
more
to
offer
than
someone
who
lives
in
a
poverty-ridden
country.
While
talking
to
India
Today,
Randeep
said
that
he
is
looking
forward
to
doing
more
work
similar
to
Extraction.
He
also
revealed
being
offered
other
film
but,
"I
felt
that
the
character
was
being
ridiculed,
or
is
a
stereotypical
portrayal
of
the
subcontinent.
So,
I
respectfully
declined."
The
Netflix
release,
Extraction,
which
is
said
to
be
high
on
action
scenes,
will
see
Randeep
alongside
Marvel
Cinematic
Universe's
mighty
Thor
aka
Chris
Hemsworth.
The
film
has
been
produced
by
Russo
Brothers
(Avengers:
Endgame)
and
has
been
directed
by
Sam
Hargrave,
a
stunt
coordinator
for
several
films
in
the
MCU.
When
asked
Randeep
how
different
was
it
from
working
in
Indian
action
films,
he
revealed,
"In
Indian
movies,
people
don't
pay
too
much
attention
to
prepping
for
an
action
scene.
They
just
turn-up
on
sets,
and
sometimes
it's
just
about
the
star
value."
He
added
that
they
had
practised
for
weeks
before
shooting,
attended
workshops
and
"started
with
the
basics
of
holding
a
gun,
firing
a
bullet,
throwing
a
punch.
First,
it
was
done
individually
and
then
it
was
Chris
and
I
and
then
other
actors.
So
the
preparation
work
is
what
gives
the
scenes
the
spontaneity."
Talking
about
the
names
attached
to
the
film,
he
revealed
that
he
would
have
settled
for
a
less
meaty
role,
but," I
was
glad
that
this
is
what
I
was
offered."
Extraction
will
release
on
Netflix
on
April
24,
2020.
