Randeep Hooda: Imtiaz is like a Sufi artist

Randeep Hooda thought someone was pulling on a prank when he was told that Imtiaz Ali wanted to work with him in ‘Highway‘.

With the film ready to release, Hooda, 37, looks back with joy on their road adventure which took the cast and crew through six different states of India.

“It was very nice working with Imtiaz. He guided us beautifully in the film. He is a Sufi artist kind of fellow but has the diligence of a school boy so you always feel safe. He really participates and helps you with what you are going through as an actor without interfering much.

“Sajid Nadiadwala and I used to joke that he is such a nice guy that it can’t be true. He must turn out a villain in the end but that did not happen,” Randeep told us over phone from Kolkata.

Produced by Imtiaz’s Window Seat Films and presented by Nadiadwala, the film will be released worldwide by UTV Motion Pictures on February 21.

Hooda, born in Haryana, seemed like a perfect choice to play the role but the actor found his Jat dialect would often interfere with the Gujari dialect that he was supposed to speak in the movie.Read more on msn.
