Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda prefers to work at his own pace. Since his debut in 2001 with Monsoon Wedding, the actor has worked in just 34 films. At a recent event, the actor said he has been “fortunate enough to choose films at the sacrifice of not doing enough”. Randeep also shared why he prefers to do “transformational acting”.
Talking about his choice of films at the India Today Mind Rocks 2024 Youth Summit in Bengaluru, the actor said, “I have always wanted to not just do frothy films. In India and everywhere, we are looking at entertainment, where we are not required to apply our minds too much.”
He added, “But, I’ve been fortunate enough to choose films at the sacrifice of not doing enough – out of 24 years of my experience as a professional actor, I’ve not been on the sets for 11 years. So, either I am waiting for something meaningful to come across or I am preparing for something.”

When Randeep Hooda was asked by the host to do a little dance on the stage, he refused and said, “This is the reason why I prefer to do transformational acting, or method acting, where you are preparing yourself to know the truth of a character. For example, I have played many cop roles, but I have not played a cardboard cop wearing a uniform. They are human beings who happen to be cops. That’s where you create a difference.”
He added, “Because I was not good at dancing, I chose to be good at this. So, why compete with Hrithik, Shahid and Tiger because they dance so well? They can’t do what I do. Find your USP.”
Randeep also shared he believes in working less but investing energy in good stories.
