New Delhi: He is known for his mixed bag of roles in arthouse as well as commercial films, but Rajat Kapoor says he was getting typecast in the industry after playing a suave businessman in Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Corporate'.
The 51-year-old actor said he had to reject many film offers to come out of that shell and choose some out-of-the-box scripts.
"I always want to do something which is completely unique. I hate to repeat myself. After Corporate, I was getting similar kind of roles. I used to get calls from directors who wanted me to portray the same shrewd character of a businessman. But I rejected them and rather opted for other kind of films," Rajat told PTI.
The actor has a fair share small budgeted content-driven films including 'Bheja Fry', 'Mithya' and 'Phas Gaye Re Obama' to his credit.
"I have never followed the trends. I have always jumped onto those projects which gave me enough scope to perform rather than help me earn money. I have never thought whether the audience would like it or not before signing the films," he said.
Rajat plays a struggling writer in his recent release, director Saurabh Shukla's rom-com 'I M 24'. The film is about the new age romance, where Shubendu (Rajat) lies to impress a girl who is half his age.
