Sequels give less space to actors: Riteish

Sequels give less space to actors: Riteish

Highlights

  • Actor Riteish Deshmukh feels that acting in sequels is mere "repetition" of the genre and has very little to offer for an actor.
  • Riteish will feature in four sequels including Sajid Khan's multi-starrer comic caper, Housefull 2, Ekta Kapoor's sex comedy, Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum and Indra Kumar's two comedies Masti 2 and Total Dhamaal.
  • "I am fed up of the fact that every film that works has a sequel in the offing. Like they asked me Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya is a success so lets do a sequel to it. When you do sequels, you are almost repeating the same genre, characters, same style of filmmaking, all this happens in slightly bigger but in the same space," Riteish said.
  • "So every year if I do sequels then there is nothing new that I am doing. As an actor, I would love to do something else also. I had signed three sequels last year - Dhamaal, Housefull, Kya Kool Hai Hum. But this time I have signed only one sequel, Masti 2 and one thriller and some other films," he said.
  • Sajid Khan's Housefull 2 is the next instalment of 2010 hit comedy Housefull 2 and is slated for release on April 5. The ensemble star cast comprises Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Asin, Zarine Khan, Rishi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty and Boman Irani.
  • In the sequel to 2005 hit, Kyaa Kool Hai Hum Riteish and Tusshar Kapoor would reprise their roles from the previous film in the second instalment. Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum is an upcoming sex comedy film directed by Sachin Yardi, and produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, scheduled for August release.
