While most actors hanker after solo projects, Riteish Deshmukh says he enjoys working in multi-starrer films. His next, 'Banjo', will see him as a solo lead hero after four years &mdash; his last was 'Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya' with wife, Genelia.
&ldquo;Most multi-starrers that I have done have all been sequels. From 'Masti' to 'Kyaa Kool Hai Hum' and 'Housefull', all franchises have given me a lot of recognition. I have no fascination for solo hero films. After working for so many years in the industry, I have figured that it&rsquo;s always good to have work rather than sit idle.&rdquo;
Riteish admits that an ensemble cast is a better option since &ldquo;success and failure are equally divided&rdquo;.
He adds that his next will tell the story of banjo players without being preachy. &ldquo;Mere kaafi saare dost thhe jo banjo bajate thhe... So getting into their skin was not the issue. We did a lot of homework. In fact, Ravi (Jadhav, director) shot and interviewed banjo players. He shared the videos with me,&rdquo; he says.
Riteish is also busy with a Marathi biopic on Chhatrapati Shivaji which he will act in and produce. &ldquo;We are still scripting the film and finalising a few things before we start rolling by the end of the year,&rdquo; he says.
Salman Khan will do an extended cameo in the film. Says the actor, "Salman was a part of my debut Marathi film, Lai Bhaari, and he was gracious enough to be a part of Chhatrapati Shivaji."
