"I am in the middle of shooting for the short film withKaran Johar. I am doing double shifts, for this film andUngli directed by Rensil D'Silva and produced by Karan.
"These days alongwith the Bhatts I am also an integralpart of Dharma productions, they know where I am 24X7. It's abit tiring, but I sat at home too long to be tired with thefatigue of hard work," Randeep told PTI.
The actor, known for intense roles in films like SahebBiwi Aur Gangster and Jism 2, says he is happy with thefilms being offered to him these days.
"Maybe there aren't enough actors with enough depth inour industry, that's why I get all these roles. I am veryhappy, I enjoy doing these roles. I like roles where I havesome meaningful interaction with the material and with myself.
"I think there are a few actors of my generation who havethe unique combination that I have, and I would like to playon my USP," he said.
Being offered more mainstream commercial films now,Randeep said his recent box office successes has increased therange of projects being offered to him.
"With Once Upon a Time... my career got resurrected andthen Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster happened. But Jannat 2 and Jism 2helped me achieve commercial success. My last six films havebeen successful, whatever part I may have played in them. Thathas become a big casting factor, though I get cast more formy acting abilities than my standing at the box office."
The actor will next been seen playing a photographer inMurder 3, alongside Aditi Rao Hydari and Pakistani actressSara Loren. The film, directed by debutante Vishesh Bhatt,will hit theatres this Friday.
"The story is about live-in relationships and trustissues. It is a very interesting take on how, in today's age,monogamy is not the only option, or whether we are even meantfor monogamy," said Randeep.
It is a remake of Spanish movie The Hidden Face andRandeep said the film has been adapted beautifully for theIndian audiences.
"It is very much in sync with the problems inrelationships today and it unfolds at a brisk, impactfulcrime thriller format, which is very engaging. It's not justabout a man-woman relationship. Vishesh has adapted the filmto our requirements wonderfully."
The previous films in the Murder franchise, starringEmraan Hashmi, have been big hits and Randeep said the thirdfilm won't disappoint.
"Murder 3 will meet the expectations. The mainstay of theseries has been great stories and great music. Murder seriesmakes stars and not the other way around. So I am hoping wethree become stars after February 15," said Randeep.
