Actor Paresh Rawal is happy that he has been able to break his funnyman
image after starring in "Oh My God!", which has helped him land
interesting roles.
Paresh, 62, said as an actor he was quite bored with his image as he was getting same kind of roles after 'Hera Pheri' became a hit in 2000.
The actor, however, managed to shake off his funny image with 'Oh My God!' where he played an atheist, who sues God after his shop is destroyed in earthquake.
Rawal agrees that getting stereotyped in Bollywood is rather easy as filmmakers don't experiment much with actors.
"This is one of the major problems in our industry. Filmmakers don't explore an actor. Since I was not getting any other roles, I ended up doing similar roles year after year because I cannot say no always. I got a new lease of life after 'Oh My God!' as now I am getting some interesting roles to play onscreen," Paresh said.
Starting his career in 1984, he has played many interesting roles throughout the '80s and '90s and is counted among one of the most expensive character actors in Bollywood.
The actor will next be seen in thriller 'Table No 21', which hits theatre today. Rawal plays the role of a resort owner Mr Khan in the movie....... Read More
