Shreyas Talpade: “Challenging Now To Convince People That I Can Do More Than Comedy”

He started his career in Bollywood with serious roles with films like Iqbal and Dor, but it was comedy which made Shreyas Talpade popular amongst the masses. The actor says that now he wants to try his “hand at different kinds of roles” as he can do more than just comedy.

In a telephonic interview with IANS, Shreyas spoke about the pros and cons of being attached to a particular genre.

He said: “In my initial days in Bollywood, I started my journey by doing serious roles in movies like Iqbal and Dor but then Golmaal 2 happened and I got the opportunity to play comedy on screen.

“I started getting more comedy films…I love doing comedy. It made me earn respectable position in the industry but being an actor, it is very important to play versatile roles. I did not want myself to get slotted under one particular category. I know it would be challenging now to convince people that I can do more than comedy.”
