As he sat in a hall’s cor- ner, entertaining people and giving interviews appeared to be a task for him. When asked if he was tired or sleepy, the actor smiled and said, “No, it’s just been a never-ending month for me!” Indeed, he is set to play a villain after a couple of above 100-crore mark films — Total Dhamal (154 crore), and Housefull 4 (200 crore) — in Marjaavaan. Even though his roles in films like Grand Masti, Masti, Dhamaal, Housefull 4 might have set a new benchmark as far as the genre is con- cerned, the actor doesn’t want to confine him- self to a single genre and wants to keep explor- ing. So is this an attempt to rebrand himself? “After being in this industry for 16 years I don’t think I am trying to rebrand myself now. I just want to do better comedy, different roles and films.
