Randeep Hooda: For going global you have to first go local

Randeep Hooda's ' Laal Rang' was lambasted by critics but his look for the forthcoming film Sarbjit also has come in for lots of praise. Randeep Hooda is delighted with what 'Laal Rang' has done for him.

In an interview to TheHindu.com, Randeep Hooda said, 'It captured something no other film could: the flamboyance, the dark sense of humour. It was a slice of life from Haryana.I strongly believe that for going global you have to first go local, which the film did rather well. It had quite an international potential. If only the makers had been guided better to polish the rough edges.'
His forthcoming film Sarbjit is set in neighbouring Punjab: 'You have to have these new stories and settings. The Mumbai mafia has been done to death.I want to fit in everywhere. I want to keep growing. I want to change my demeanour with every new role. I am selfish. I am dying to reach out.I don't want to carry just the yoke of new cinema."
