Actor Angad Bedi is more concerned with challenging himself and broadening his horizons. And he’s all prepared to display his amorous side for the first time in his upcoming movie, R Balki’s Ghoomer.

“This is my first time playing a romantic role,” says an excited Bedi, adding, “My character is a very normal corporate person but shows extraordinary grit by unconditionally supporting his love interest. Though it’s a sports-based movie, for me it’s a romantic film, and I’m grateful to Balki for seeing that side of me and trusting me to bring that character alive.”

The actor believes romance is a genre he hasn’t had a chance to experience yet. However, he is unable to pinpoint why. “I think it’s just about someone’s vision and their willingness to see you in that part. I’ve been grateful for all the roles I’ve gotten so far. It’s natural tendency to see all actors a certain way. But then someone like Shah Rukh Khan has also broken the mould of a romantic hero and done such impeccable work in other genres back in the 1990s when his romantic hero tag was strongly established,” Bedi notes.

The actor goes on to say that he doesn’t feel like he has been typecast into a certain role or pushed into a box. He would like to think that he has performed a variety of roles. “Sometimes, sports can be an obvious part for me, because of my background and I’ve enjoyed that. (Bedi is the son of veteran cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi). Ghoomer is also a sports drama film but it’s so much more and I’m actually not playing a sportsperson in this film,” says Bedi, who feels in today’s time it’s way easier to break out of a box.

“I also feel that I’ve consciously gone for unconventional parts, like I’m always attracted to the underdog stories, stories of someone who doesn’t always win, because that’s the reality of life. And that realism is what actually attracts me to the roles I pick,” he concludes.
