Riteish in a still from the movie Ek Villain
Highlights
- Riteish Deshmukh, who played a dark, intense and grey role in romantic thriller Ek Villain, says the film's success will perhaps widen his horizon as an actor.
- "Ek Villain is an important film because when a film of this genre and such a dark character given to me works, then probably doors to play (more) such characters will open," Riteish said here on Tuesday.
- "I hope to play characters apart from what I do in comic roles. But of course, I will do comedies," he added.
- The 35-year-old was present at an event to celebrate the success of Ek Villain along with its director Mohit Suri and co-stars Sidharth Malhotra and Shraddha Kapoor.
- Ek Villain success notwithstanding, Riteish will continue doing funny films.
- His recent release, Sajid Khan directed Humshakals, in which he teamed up with Ram Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, was a comedy. All the three actors played triple roles in the film and not only did Riteish's performance win him appreciation, the film managed to do good business at the box office.
- "I will continue doing comedy as I enjoy it," said Riteish, who has been part of comedies.
- "I don't make choices on the basis of a film's success or failure, but I choose from the content that is offered to me," he added.
