Actor Ronit Roy’s previous few initiatives together with Thugs of Hindostan (2018), Shamshera (2021) and Shehzada did not get good critiques or get any money registers ringing on the field workplace. And result in followers query his movie selections. The actor says he’s conscious that his followers are dissatisfied, and therefore, he usually writes to them on social media that he has no selection however to maintain working and tackle new initiatives.
He tells us, “Wahi baat hai, ‘marta kya na karta’. You can’t even say no to projects because it’s your job, and you have to continue doing it,” he tells us, including, “Though I’m always aware what I’m getting into, there have been times when you are promised something, and then the results are something else. Those are the times when you feel underutilised also, but you can’t do anything about it.”
Nonetheless, the 57-year-old is pleased, and content material together with his profession trajectory due to a number of different elements concerned, together with a great remuneration. “I’m paid three times more than the next guy who would do the role. That means there’s respect for my name and face, and that matters [over other things]. Moreover, I get to work with directors that I’m fond of. These films are allowing me to build a bridge between me and filmmakers like Rohit Dhawan and Ali Abbas Zafar,” shares the actor, who was seen taking part in an antagonist alongside Shahid Kapoor, within the latest net movie, Bloody Daddy.
The actor confesses that the Kartik Aaryan-starrer Shehzada was one such film, which he did just for its director, Rohit Dhawan. Opening in regards to the movie’s failure and the possible purpose behind, Roy says, “I love the Dhawans. David (Dhawan) sir always told me that I’ll call you soon for a project, but that never happened. But one day (his son) Rohit called me, and because I’m very fond of him, I agreed to do it. Rohit shot my scenes very well and I was satisfied. But because it was a big commercial set up, what you see on the screen is Rohit’s perception and what he wanted out of me. It’s not a 100% Ronit Roy performance. It’s what was expected of me and I delivered it,” he explains.
Without hesitation, Roy calls these no-brainer movie “a vacation”. He elaborates, “I will call spade a space. In some films, performances are not needed. You get in their and be true to your role in it. There’s barely any prep needed. These are like a vacation where you go on set, and chill. And I don’t mind it because, simultaneously, I’m also getting to play lead roles in other smaller films.”
Amid all these field workplace failures, Roy prefers to take a look at the brighter aspect that his followers and folks within the trade recognise him nearly as good actor, and that’s the explanation he will get to do initiatives that creatively fulfill him. “So, I have no complaints. A film like Bloody Daddy allowed me to experiment. These are my kinds of movies and I’m happy in my space,” he concludes.
