Randeep Hooda, who was recently seen in Sunny Deol's Jaat, recalled when he rejected Rang De Basanti offer for a Ram Gopal Verma film. Looking back the actor felt, had he done the film, his career would have reached a "different league." Speaking to Shubhankar Mishra , Randeep shared that he was approached to play Bhagat Singh's role in the film, which eventually played by Siddharth.
He said, "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." Reflecting on the choices he made in choosing niche directors, Randeep said, "So, I have always worked with a little different kind of filmmakers and producers and not with industry insiders, maybe that's why my growth was slow. I used to think I am enough and that craft is everything but it is not the case.
" Randeep Hooda is known for films like Rang Rasiya, Love Aaj Kal, Do Lafzon Ki Kahani, Main Aur Charles, Beeba Boys, to name a few. Randeep Hooda grabbed the limelight with his powerful performance in Imtiaz Ali's Highway. Entertainment I Read Latest News on NDTV Entertainment.
