I won't do mindless action films, says actor Rohit Roy

Actor Rohit Roy returns to the big screen in the action drama "Mumbai Saga", which hits theatres on Friday. He loves doing high-octane action roles but asserts that he won't stick to just that genre.

"There is a soft spot for action in me because male actors always want to do action films. But I don't see myself doing just that. For me it's important that the action or thriller film I am a part of has a story behind it and my character moves that story. Mindless action is not a genre I see myself fitting into. For me, be it 'Shootout At Lokhandwala' or 'Kaabil' there has to be a story in between action," Rohit tells IANS.

Rohit is fond of "Mumbai Saga" director Sanjay Gupta. The filmmaker has earlier directed Rohit in "Kaabil", and he also writer-producer of "Shootout At Lokhandwala".

"I am always excited to be part of action films which Sanjay Gupta makes because he knows his heroes very well. Every character is presented with a panache that only Sanjay Gupta can lend to his male characters," the actor says. (IANS)
