Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade, who is all set to tickle the funny bone with three rom-coms next year, says his transition from a serious to comedy roles was deliberate.
"The directors used to feel that I am good at doing serious roles so it was a kind of deliberate attempt to change the gear. Also, instead of getting typecast it was better to try different genre. I wanted to prove I can do anything," Talpade told PTI.
The actor feels through Golmaal he could prove that he can efficiently perform comedy roles as well because prior to this movie he acted only in serious movies like Iqbaal and Dor.
"I am an actor. I am here to perform. It is important for me to act in every genre. I love comedy, sometimes action and sometimes serious too," he said.
The laughathons he has lined up include debutant director Sai Kabir's Chemistry, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Teen Thay Bhai and Sagar Bellary's Hum Tum Aur Shabana.
"Chemistry is a romantic-comedy with Soha Ali Khan and Tanisha Mukherjee. It shows the chemistry between a boy-next-door and a girl with high ambitions. Then I have Teen Thay Bhai, a comedy film with Om Puri and Deepak Dobriyal. It is about three brothers who hate each other and what happens when they share a night together," Shreyas said.
"Hum Tum Aur Shabana is again a rom-com revolving around three characters Tusshar Kapoor, Minissha Lamba and me. Tusshar and me indulge in a competition of sorts to get Shabana (Minissha)," he added.
"Attempting comedies is not everyone's cup of tea. It is very tough to carry it off," he added.
