BOLLYWOOD Deepak Dobriyal 'tired' of same comedy role offers
Deepak Dobriyal is "tired" of being offered the same comedy roles and is on the hunt for something new.
Deepak Dobriyal is "tired" of being offered the same comedy roles.
The 47-year-old actor insisted his dark role in 'Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo' isn't an official "departure" from the genre but he hopes it means he will be considered for different roles as he's looking for something new.
He told Hindustan Times: “No, this isn’t my departure from comedy. But, the comedy coming to me shouldn't be the same.
"Now I am tired. In life you tend to repeat the same thing, and I don’t want to do it, no matter how much pampering the unit or producers are.
"So, I have told people that I don’t want to repeat the same comedy films. Tell me when you have something new.
"I only have problem with stereotypical comedy roles. I will do roles of all kinds. But, not the same ones.
"When you keep farming the same plot of field with the same crop it tends to become fertile, right?”
Asked if it's a deliberate decision or down to a lack of good scripts, he added: “Yes, it’s my decision. I have said no to big production houses as well).”
In 'Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo', Deepak has a striking bald look - and he admitted that's his usual go-to style when he's off duty.
He said: “The only brief I had is that my character is above 55-60 years old.
“I was in talks about 'Saas, Bahi Aur Flamingo' just after I had wrapped up a film shoot. Every time I complete a role I shave my head. I go completely bald. This is to start something new. This is like my ritual. I have done it after every 30 roles of my life.
"Homi had suggested to me some other role. But, after I sent him a photo of my bald look, he offered me this. I had no idea what the character needed to look like. The director found it apt."
