<p>Sandalwood actor Rakshit Shetty is busy with his projects. This software professional-turned actor feels that an actor shouldn’t allow himself to be stereotyped and should always challenge himself with different roles.<br /><br /></p>.<p>“I’ve been busy with ‘Vastu Prakaara’ and ‘Ricky’. My role in ‘Vastu Prakaara’ has a crooked shade to it. I haven’t played such a role in my career. There’s a lot of manipulation and mind games involved in the movie,” he says. He adds that since it’s a Yograj Bhat film, the dialogue delivery plays a lot of importance. <br /><br />“The movie is a performance-oriented one. I had got an offer from Yograj Bhat earlier, but since I was busy with another movie then, I couldn’t do the film I am very excited about the project and the movie is almost done,” he says.<br /><br />His newest project, ‘Ricky’, is a romantic flick, which will see him play the role of the boy-next-door. “Haripriya is starring opposite me in the film. The script takes a turn in the second half and is action-packed. The hero and heroine know each other from childhood and as they grow up, they begin to having feelings for each other. The first-half has a light, romantic feel,” says Rakshit. <br /><br />This will be his first film with action in it. “It was exciting to do fight sequences. I was very comfortable with the stunts as I learnt karate when I was young and had a black belt in martial art. But like any movie, it’s more about your acting skills,” he says.<br /><br /> He says that he was nervous and wasn’t sure how the action sequences would look on screen but he was impressed by the results.<br /><br />“After every shot, I did look at the monitor to see the scenes. I did my job and I think it has come out well,” he says.<br /><br />Rakshit says that he didn’t have to exert himself to fit into the role. “I was quite sure that I would be comfortable doing anything. There were a couple of shots where ropes had to be tied to me and I took time to get adjusted to that but I was fine after that,” he says.<br /><br />“I would like to try out everything,” says the actor. He says that as a performer, he doesn’t want to be sidelined to a genre. <br /><br />“This is the reason that after ‘Simple Agi Ondh Love Story’, when I got a lot of offers for romantic films, I didn’t take them up. I wanted to pursue offers where I portrayed characters that were different and pushed me beyond the limits,” he says. <br />Rakshit, who has also directed a movie he starred in, says that he is still in the learning process. <br /><br />“Right now, I’m just following my intuition as this excites me more. Maybe, after a few movies, I will be able to plan more. I am just giving my best shot for all the roles that I’m taking up,” he sums up.</p>
