<p>He may be known for his comic-timing but actor-TV host Manish Paul says he wants to try different roles and not stick only to comedy.<br /><br />Manish, who made his Bollywood debut in the 2013 comedy "Mickey Virus", says he is keen to do a romantic or an action film now.<br /><br />"I don't choose roles, the directors and producers offer me...I am just two film old right now so I can't be that choosy. May be after this if people say, 'lets try something different with him', I'll be open to do," Manish said in an interview.<br /><br />"I want to try different roles. I just don't want to get restricted to comedy. I would love to do an out-an-out romantic film and hardcore serious action film. Let's see if I get that," he added.<br />Before bagging his first breakthrough hosting assignment in "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa", the 34-year-old actor did a few daily soaps.<br /><br />When asked if he would go back and do more daily soaps, Manish said, "I have done two to three (TV serials) ..Honestly, I don't think I can do that. I don't mean to say they are below my level but I think I am below their level.<br /><br />"My creativity does not match with the shows and then that is a problem. I couldn't get the satisfaction so that's why I couldn't do it. So I left it. I was free for a year, sitting at home doing nothing. Then hosting happened and everything clicked."<br /><br />The actor, however, is open to do a limited-TV series like the show "24".<br />"Yes that is a good option. A show like 24 is awesome, so if more shows are getting made like that, I would love to be a part of it."<br /><br />Manish will be next seen in "Tere Bin Laden- Dead or Alive".The film is a sequel to Abhishek Sharma's "Tere Bin Laden" which starred Pakistani pop icon Ali Zafar.<br /><br />The actor is "ok" with comparisons between him and Zafar, who he says is a "star."<br />"I think I am ok with the comparisons... Ali is not a bad actor to be comapred with. He is a good actor, very good singer, he is a star in himself. It will be good if the comparisons happens." <br /><br />Even though the film is comedy, Manish says it was tough to bag the film and hopes people will connect more with him.<br /><br />"The audition went on for four hours, Abhishek and I met for a day, I heard the script... He does not get convinced easily. It was a lot of hard work to get the role.<br /><br />"People have seen just one film on screen, Mickey Virus. Even in that, I wasn't that big a name... The connect with audience has increased today. I am expecting more people (to watch it), lets hope for the best." </p>.<p><br />Even though the film is comedy, Manish says it was tough to bag the film and hopes people will connect more with him.<br /><br />"The audition went on for four hours, Abhishek and I met for a day, I heard the script...
