Sharman wants to be somebody else

Bollywood actor Sharman Joshi is keen on expanding his acting portfolio. The actor, who will be seen in Hate Story 3, out in the UAE tomorrow, said: “I always feel like doing something new, every time. That’s why I have tried almost all genres in my career. Now I want to do a historical, a sci-fi [film] or a biopic.

“I wanted to act in an erotic thriller and now it has been listed off. I would love to do a biopic. It’s a challenge to portray an actual character,” he added.

However, the actor is ambivalent about who he’d like to play. “There is no particular choice. Actually, it depends on the makers and writer,” he said.

Joshi, whose work has been lauded in films Rang De Basanti, Life in a ... Metro and 3 Idiots, said that with experience, he has realised that “you can’t say ‘never’” in the film industry.

“You have to be open to all possibilities. As an actor, I thrive on constant challenges and changes. Otherwise, work gets boring,” he added. Directed by Vishal Pandya, Hate Story 3 also stars Zarine Khan, Daisy Shah and Karan Singh Grover.
