Riteish feels that he has nothing more to the sex comedy genre after Grand Masti
Mumbai:
When it comes to genre, actor-producer Riteish Deshmukh feels that he has nothing more to offer to sex comedies post the grand success of Grand Masti and therefore he won't accept an offer with a similar script.
"I enjoyed doing Grand Masti and before its release I said that I don't think I can offer anything more as an actor in this genre. It was a bold film and I am glad the film worked and crossed Rs 100 crore mark," said Riteish in a group interview.
"Now I don't have any such script, but if I get a similar script, I will not do it. We had crossed all the boundaries with Grand Masti," he added.
Right now Riteish has two releases in two weeks - comedy drama Humshakals and thriller Ek Villain.
Humshakals, directed by Sajid Khan is hitting the screen on June 20, while Mohit Suri's Ek Villain will be released on June 27.
The actor says there's a risk involved when two films from two different genres come out at a very short interval, but smart marketing sorted it out. (Also Read: Riteish doesn't make Marathi films without subtitles)
"As an actor it's exciting. In Ek Villain, it is a very different role. The biggest fear was this film is coming with Humshakals, so will the audience accept me? But the publicity has been done smartly," Riteish said.
"Humshakals was more difficult to pull off than Ek Villain because physically it's more challenging. Mentally Ek Villain was hard work because there are lots of layers in it. It has been a great experience," he added
