Randeep Hooda talks about Highway and Imtiaz Ali

Actor Randeep Hooda has been in this industry for past 13 years. He has worked in films like Monsoon Wedding, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, Heroine, John Day and many more. The actor will now be seen in Highway. When Randeep came to know that filmmaker Imtiaz Ali wants him to act in his film, he thought that someone is playing a prank. That wasn’t a prank for sure. His hard work and his love for his work have earned him the place that he is at today.

In awe of Ali, the actor said, “It was very nice working with Imtiaz. He guided us beautifully in the film. He is a Sufi artist kind of fellow but has the diligence of a school boy so you always feel safe. He really participates and helps you with what you are going through as an actor without interfering much.” Hooda will be seen playing the role of a man from Haryana and he has tried his level best to get that accent right for his character in the film.

Highway will be out on February 21. Randeep will share the screen space with newbie Alia Bhatt for the first time. He feels that his pairing with Alia best suited the script. He quoted, “I don’t see it that way. There is no unusual pairing. It was the demand of the story that characters are cast in a certain way. It was done to serve the story in the best possible way and I must say Alia is superb in the movie.”
