Randeep Hooda: I was on RGV’s payroll for four years to not work with anyone else!

Indian actor Randeep Hooda believes a good advisor is important for anyone to succeed in Bollywood industry. While he considers Naseer a good advisor, something which he has said on several occasions, it looks as if he is not sure about Ram Gopal Varma, reports a daily.

While talking to the media, Hooda revealed he was in a four-year contract with RGV and during that time he turned down many lucrative offers which he should have accepted.

Hooda said, “Let’s say that an advisor is important. Naseerbhai gives me good advice. He once told me that ‘you’re trying to plan your career too hard… your script should make a mark’, and that’s when I decided to do that. I was on Ram Gopal Varma’s payroll for 35,000 per month for four years to not work with anyone else. He gave me a great movie after that. Beyond that, both of us couldn’t see a great movie together. I got better offers after that, but turned them down for silly reasons. Reasons which didn’t matter.”

After tasting success in 2005 with RGV’s film ‘D’, Hooda bounced back in 2010 with Milan Luthria’s film ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai’ and he admitted that Milan was the one who pulled him out of his hibernation.

Randeep Hooda is garnering a lot of appreciation these days because of Pooja Bhatt’s ‘Jism 2’, in which he played a lead role opposite to the Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone.

The actor is now looking forward to the release of Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Heroine’ next month. He is also working on various other projects, including Mahesh Bhatt’s ‘Murder 3’.

Hooda is replacing Emraan Hashmi in ‘Murder 3’ and when asked about it in an interview, the actor said he has no issues with who did the role before him or who will do it later.

“Yes, I am pretty excited about doing Murder 3 as the script is brilliant,” he said.

He added, “I am doing a film, not carrying a legacy forward. I have no issues with who did the role before me or who will do it later.”
