The Mollywood star, who has been offered a role in Rajkumar Gupta's Ghanchakkar, on why he is in no hurry for Bollywood, http://goo.gl/d5gak - Sanjith Sidhardhan, TNN
Following the trail of his younger brother Prithviraj, Indrajith could well be the next Malayalam star heading to Bollywood. The actor tells us that he has been offered a role in Rajkumar Gupta's Ghanchakkar, starring Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan, but is yet to take a decision.
"They had sent me the script and I haven't finished going through it yet. If the role is really substantial, then I will take it up; otherwise I'd say no," he says.
Indrajith also explains that unless the character he's offered has a good scope for performance, he has no plans to pursue films in any other language. "I don't want to do a Hindi film just for the sake of it; and that too, when I'm getting a lot of good characters in Malayalam. Our industry is going through one of its best phases with a lot of experimental movies coming up. The best thing is seven out of 10 movies are hits," he points out.
About Prithviraj's nascent Bollywood career, Indrajith says, "It's a big thing for someone in Malayalam to get established in Bollywood. Many reputed stars from the South have lasted for just two movies in Bollywood, while Prithviraj is already in discussions for his third movie."
Indrajith, who had earlier done a Hindi film titled The Waiting Room, says that there are no more barriers in the country's film industries. "Actors are getting accepted nationally. Even in my current film Amen, Makarand Deshpande is doing a prominent character. It's reached a good stage that if actors can perform well, they can try their luck in any language," he adds.
Incidentally, Indrajith also has plans to turn producer. "It's on the cards," he reveals, adding, "If I get the right project at the right time, I will definitely do it."
Currently, the actor's flooded with films that would see him in a variety of roles — from a priest in Amen to a party reveller in next year's Disco, both projects being directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery. In between, he would also be doing director Hariharan's Ezhaamathey Varavu which has sorted out its production hassles and will go on floors this December and Arun Kumar Aravind's Left Right Left.
