<p>This is the first time that director Preetham Gubbi and ‘Golden Star’ Ganesh are working together. Preetham has crafted the perfect role for Ganesh — that of a cook in Dil Rangeela, which released last Friday. Ganesh says that he has never essayed a role like this before and Preetham too believes nobody else could have done a better job than Ganesh. <br /><br /></p>.<p>The actor can’t contain his excitement when he talks about his new role. He plays a cook who also happens to be a compulsive flirt in Dil Rangeela. “My role has given me the opportunity to explore another side of me. It’s quite challenging and I have really worked hard to get my act right in the film,” Ganesh tells Metrolife.<br /><br />Talking more about his role, he says, “I play a character who is bindaas and a compulsive flirt. I don’t know why Preetham thought I could carry off this character really well but I am glad he trusted me with this role.” <br /><br />Ganesh has had a total makeover for this film. He’s not only shed loads of weight but has experimented with his clothes, hair – all in an effort to fit perfectly in the role. “There is entertainment, love and action. It’s an out-and-out commercial movie. I am sure people will be thoroughly entertained,” says Ganesh and adds, “for a change, there’s no rain, no love at first sight and no broken hearts. The role demands that I look and behave every bit like a cook,” says Ganesh. <br /><br />Ganesh had never entered a kitchen and couldn’t distinguish one ingredient from another before working in the film. But now, he confesses that he has learnt how to toss up rumali roti, make biryani and a few curries as well. “I made mutton biriyani for the whole crew after the shooting of the film. Since, we largely shot in Goa, I ate at almost all the restaurants just to get a feel of what cooking is like and get used to being in the kitchen,” he adds. <br /><br />Ganesh also has worked hard to burn those extra kilos. “I used to spend three to four hours at the gym to build my muscles. I must say that I feel fitter than ever before,” he signs off. <br /></p>
