Actor Randeep Hooda is all set to play the role of the antagonist in the highly-awaited Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. The film which is set for a multi-format release will hit theatres and stream on an OTT platform tomorrow. Besides Randeep Hooda, the film also stars Salman Khan, Disha Patani and Jackie Shroff. In an interview with ETimes, the actor opened up about his role in the movie and about the delay in releasing it due to the pandemic.
“Well, as an artiste, you don’t have much control over the timing of a film’s release. There are bigger problems at hand and people are suffering a lot more than a film not making it to theatres on a preset date. So, one does not feel much about it being delayed. In the past, I have been guilty of preparing for a film for two-three years, and after that, things didn’t move. So, waiting is okay for me. During the last wave of the pandemic, my international project Extraction released and I was happy that we were able to entertain people and take their minds off a gloomy situation temporarily. Around the same time this year, we have Radhe… it doesn’t matter if it’s a year late,” Randeep said.
“Salman and I have hung out together and we have a friendship that goes back years. We get along well and I really like the guy. There is a camaraderie there which exists off-screen, too. I am very happy with my collaborations with Salman. I was chasing him in Kick, I trained him in Sultan and I am now testing him in Radhe… I think this progression was all planned by him,” he added.
