Randeep Hooda Says Film Industry Is Full Of 'Fragile Glass Egos', Reacts To Being Called Rude - EXCLUSIVE

Randeep

Hooda recently joined Zoom for an exclusive conversation on Spotlight Sessions. During this chat, the Bollywood actor reflected on various aspects of his professional and personal life. From his Haryanvi identity, rejecting Chhaava, to his fallout with Ram Gopal Varma, the actor discussed it all. Randeep even reacted to the perception that he was rude and arrogant. While answering this, the actor said he hasn't had any 'disrespectful' exchange with any director on creative things. This was except his fallout with RGV. He further spoke about being annoyed by assistant directors and the film industry's fragile glass egos.

Randeep Hooda on being called rude

Speaking to Zoom, Randeep stated, "I did not realise that the mouthpiece of the chatter that goes on in movies is from the assistant directors. When you're getting ready, and there's something that is not right, you're not making the look right, or you are not getting the thing right before going to the set... and there's this assistant director who would keep knocking and say, 'Sir, ready?' every minute."

The Bollywood actor further added, "You told them to give five (minutes), so there the Jaat in you comes out and you tell them to f*ck off and that might have added to a bit of it." Having said that, Randeep wondered where the reputation of his arrogant behaviour came from as he has done many movies with same directors. He also mentioned hardly having any conversations on set because he does most of his homework before the shoot.Recalling that he was a bit 'novice' at the beginning his career, Randeep mentioned that he must have had point of view where he disagreed with the director. But he has always considered a director's take and his own take."It was blown out of proportion and because I was not mixing around with people too much and that kind of Chinese whispers grew beyond its merit. Apart from that, I don't think that has been the case and it is also the way you deal with people. I wasn't very diplomatic, the film industry is full of fragile glass egos and insecurities," he added.
