Now it's starting to be fun: Randeep Hooda
As a director, was it easy to reject your own work and ask for retakes? On this Randeep (laughing) says, 'See, I have been acting in films for the last 23 years. I had never seen my work on a monitor. I have always worked depending on the director's vision. Even in the film 'Swatantrya Veer Savarkar', I was able to pay very little attention to my performance and character, because I had to pay attention to other people and everything else. It is still very difficult for me to see my takes. During shooting, I used to look at my takes only when I saw someone.
There was a lot of doubt on the scene, otherwise I moved forward with the help of my experiences. It is very difficult to work both in front of the camera and behind the camera simultaneously. Now by chance I have got the taste of direction, so now I feel that I will have to direct more films in the future.
Randeep says, 'When my leg was broken and my film 'Swatantrya Veer Savarkar' was shelved, I remained bedridden for eight weeks. During that time I started writing stories. I have written 15-20 short stories. Some of them are about Versova, some about people around me. The love of writing that I got from this film is the biggest contribution of the film for me. (Laughs) I became an actor to avoid studying all my life, now I am studying. That too has to be done with utmost care. Now I start enjoying writing my thoughts.
