Randeep Hooda, who has been garnering rave reviews for his performance in Sunny Deol starrer Jaat, recently revealed that he regrets walking out of projects like Aamir Khan starrer Rang De Basanti & Farhan Akhtar’s Rock On! as these films would have taken his acting career to a ‘different league.’ Randeep Hooda was offered the role of Karan Singhania, which was finally played by Siddharth. “If I would have done Rang De Basanti, I would have come in a different league.
I gave the audition and I liked it. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra would come me, sometimes driving drunk, and he would ask me ‘ kar le kar le picture karle .’ I asked him to drive safely.
I wanted to do that film but during that time, Ram Gopal Varma told me, ‘I am thinking of cast you in lead role in D and you will go and stand behind Aamir in the poster.’ Meri Jaat akad nikal aai (My Jaat arrogance came up) and I said, ‘I won’t stand behind Aamir.’ That happened and I left Rock On also for similar reasons,” said Randeep while talking to Shubhankar Mishra.

I used to think I am enough and that craft is everything but it is not the case.” Talking about Jaat , the film also features Saiyami Kher and Viineet Kumar Siingh in prominent roles.
It is directed by Gopichand Malineni..
