Salman will be seen in a special appearance in Riteish's second Marathi
production 'Lai Bhaari', which also marks the latter's debut in Marathi
films as an actor. "He (Salman) offered to be part of the film. He is a
big star. He was gracious enough to tell me that I want to do a scene in
the film," Riteish told PTI in an interview here.
"He (Salman) wanted to speak in Marathi as his mother is a
Maharashtrian. He speaks great Marathi. We did a fun scene together. I
am glad that he is part of the film than anything else," he said.
Excited about getting an opportunity to work with Salman, Riteish said,
"I have worked with most of the actors. He was the only one I did not
work with.
To do a film with him, that too in debut Marathi
film is special," he said. 'Lai Bhaari' is directed by national award
winning Nishikant Kamat and co-produced by Riteish's banner Mumbai Film
Company and Cinemantra Entertainment. "It will release by the end of
this year, say by December or January (next year). It is an action drama
film.
This genre is rarely attempted in Marathi cinema. We
will try and do something nice with it and hope people like it," Riteish
said. After a successful stint as an actor, Riteish turned producer
with Marathi film 'Balak Palak', which did brisk business at the box
office.
Riteish, who has previously worked in hit adult
comedies like 'Masti', 'Kya Kool Hain Hum', 'Kya Super Kool Hain Hum',
will be returning to the genre with a sequel to 'Masti' - titled 'Grand
Masti'. "This is my fourth film in this space... I feel the genre is
untapped, it is a genre that is fairly successful if done correctly. I
am comfortable with any genre.
If some actors are not
comfortable in this space then it is not my issue, it is fair enough,"
he said. "The film is targeted at certain audience. If we are making an
adult film, we are keeping the children out," the actor said. The film
will see the trio- Vivek Oberoi, Aftab Shivdasani and Riteish -
reprising their roles from the first film. "After nine years we have
made a comeback and are doing a sequel to 'Masti'.
It was a
wonderful experience to work with each other. We have taken the film
many miles ahead. We did not have to think of recreating the chemistry,
we were like house on fire," Riteish said. Directed by Indra Kumar,
'Grand Masti' also stars Kainaat Arora, Bruna Abdullah, Karishma Tanna,
Sonalee Kulkarni and Maryam Zakaria. It will hit the theatres on
September 13.
Riteish feels if comic scenes are written well,
it becomes easy for actors to tickle the funny bone of audience. "I
think any kind of comic sequence is as easy and as difficult as it is
written. So, if it is written well then it becomes easy. Sometimes you
find it difficult because the humour is not coming out," he added.
