Nobody offers me solo-hero films
In his five-year-old Bollywood career, actor Zayed Khan has mostly starred in ensemble
cast films. He now wants to take up more "challenging" roles and also
rues that no good director has approached him with solo-hero movie scripts so
far.
He has mostly
starred in ensemble cast films like 'Main Hoon Na', 'Cash', 'Speed', 'Mission
Istanbul' and most recently 'Yuvvraaj'. Zayed said he is yet to make an impression
on filmmakers' minds that he can carry a solo-hero film on his own.
"I am going
to have to make that sort of an impression in their (director's) minds. I'll
have to give them a reason to come to me with solo-hero script. I have to
inspire them by working with good directors, I'd rather do that. That's my game
plan," said Zayed.
The actor, who
is currently working on two more multi-starrers - a comic caper 'Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge' and action flick 'Blue', says
he gained a lot by sharing screen space with Suniel Shetty, Sanjay Dutt and
Shah Rukh Khan.
"When you
work with people who are bigger than you and have more understanding than you,
you know that one day you are going to play in their playing field. My whole
idea is to give my best and slowly and steadily find myself in the first
five," he said confidently.
"I want to
do roles that are challenging and want to work with people who can give me the
challenge and present the film the way it should be presented. There is no
point in doing a film that will never see the light of the day," Zayed
said.
Though his
much-hyped 'Yuvvraaj' failed to click with the audience and critics alike, the
actor hopes to create some ripples with his daredevil underwater stunts in
'Blue', which also stars Akshay Kumar, Suneil, Katrina Kaif and Lara Dutta.
