Randeep Hooda is currently basking in the success of his recent movie – Jaat. He plays the role of villain – Varadraja Ranatunga in the film that is headlined by Sunny Deol. The film and the star cast has received immense appreciation. Randeep Hooda has now hit headlines with his latest interview with Shubhankar Mishra. The actor spoke at length about his journey in the film industry, struggle and much more. He also spoke about his critically acclaimed film – Highway. The movie directed by Imtiaz Ali had Alia Bhatt as the leading lady.
In the interview, Randeep Hooda was asked about Highway and why was Ranbir Kapoor promoting the film instead of him? The actor also expressed surprise over the move of the makers to not promote him and instead get Ranbir Kapoor to create buzz for Highway. To this, Randeep Hooda said that even he does not know why it happened and he felt bad about the same. He expressed that had he received the same amount of footage, his career and journey would have been slightly easy. Randeep Hooda also added, “Maine bhi voh dekha aur mujhe bhi samajh nahi aaya Ranbir Kapoor ka iss picture se kya lena dena hai.” But later he added that may be that was the beginning of Alia and Ranbir’s relationship and he is happy for them.
Randeep Hooda spoke about the strategy of the makers and shared that may be it was planned to keep the promotions around Alia Bhatt given that the story was about female exploitation. He said, “Last ke 1-2 din shayad traction nahi pakad rahi thi, toh mujhe leke gaye the. Shayad unki strategy shuru se thi ki Alia ke around karenge — waise bhi woh film female exploitation pe thi. Par jab film logon tak pohochhi, unko laga ki agar Mahabir Bhati nahi hota uss picture mein, toh picture waise nahi pakad paati.” He then even joked that when wasn’t a part of Imtiaz Ali’s film Love Aaj Kal 2 either.
