Randeep Hooda talked about facing severe financial struggles in his acting career of 23 years.
Randeep Hooda has been making waves on social media for his directorial debut Swatantra Veer Savarkar based on the life of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. The actor has received praises so far for his portrayal and transformation for the film and has proven once again that he indeed is an invaluable asset to the entertainment industry. In his recent interview, Randeep Hooda revealed that out of 23 years of working in the industry, 11 years that he had spent were not on the sets.
Talking to Humans Of Bombay, Randeep Hooda explained, “Many times, I’ve had zero money, and I didn’t know what I would do next. There were times when I sold everything in my house, my car, my microwave, everything. But I never sold my horses, because there is an Arabic saying, ‘Tankhwa badhao, kharcha kam karne se kuch nahi hoga (Increase your income, by reducing spending you’re achieving nothing)’.”
He continued, “Once, I sold my horse Ranji, who was really old; I just got him operated again. There was a whole thing of putting him down, and I was like, ‘Hey, he’s still so spirited, he still bites the other horses and me’. But I sold him at that time for a dear some of money, and I felt that I could look after my other horses and myself with that money. He was put in the truck, I got the cheque, he was being taken away from the race course. But I just couldn’t take it. I stopped the truck, fought with them, got my horse back. I’d been better off at any stage of that downer struggle more than I was when I came here.”
Talking about his film Veer Savarkar, besides Randeep Hooda and Ankita Lokhande, the film’s cast includes Amit Sial, Apinderdeep Singh, Mark Bennington, and others.
Besides Randeep and Ankita, the film’s cast includes Amit Sial, Apinderdeep Singh, Mark Bennington, and others. Anand Pandit Motion Pictures, Avak Films and Legend Global Studio have produced Swatantra Veer Savarkar which will be released in Hindi and Marathi.
For those who don’t know about Veer Savarkar, he was a former freedom fighter. He, however, refrained from participating in the Indian freedom struggle after the British government released him from cellular jail on account of his relentless pleas for mercy. Hindu Mahasabha, presided over by Savarkar, also entered into a coalition with the Muslim League to run the governments in Sindh and Bengal.
Coming back to Randeep Hooda, the actor has acted in many hit movies like Highway, Inspector Avinash, Operation Fryday, Cat, Radhe, etc. He has showcased his remarkable acting skills in many projects but remains a lesser-known actor compared to his counterparts. The Swatantra Veer Savarkar actor said in an interview that earlier he did a lot of films with first-time directors which didn’t reach the audiences.
