Randeep Hooda on working with Salman Khan for third time in Radhe: There's no prep involved, it's breezy and not too taxing
FirstpostRandeep Hooda has played several grey characters in his career but with Salman Khan’s Radhe: The Most Wanted Bhai, he says, it was an exciting experience “to go completely dark inside-out”. Hooda burst onto the scene with Mira Nair’s Monsoon Wedding what he calls a turning point in his career, and since then has had an interesting run of almost two decades which he attributes to testing different genres and working with varied people in the industry. I have worked with more than 20 first time directors and I have enjoyed it thoroughly,” says Hooda, who appeared in a string of roles, including, D, Darna Zaroori Hai, Risk, Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye, Love Khichdi, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster before he received critical acclaim with Highway in which he was seen as a soft-hearted Haryanvi kidnapper. In his 20-year-old career Hooda has taken a break overall of seven years which he calls voluntary, self-chosen, and “for a purpose”, but a break that has left an impact on him was when he invested three years preparing for a movie but the film never happened.
