Vineet Kumar Singh, whose latest film "Gold" released recently, says he is open to the idea of taking up roles in both small independent features and mainstream commercial cinema.
The 38-year-old actor, who earned critical praise for "Mukkabaaz" earlier this year, believes that as long as a person is doing good work, it does not matter whether he is acting in independent films or big-budget commercial projects.
"When you do a big film it reaches more people it helps you as an actor. After 'Gold' released people are watching 'Mukkabaaz'. When more people see you, you become more popular.
"The benefit as an actor is that, then you do a commercial film and you can also continue to be part of that and do small films as well," Vineet, who has also acted in critically acclaimed films like "Gangs of Wasseypur" and "Ugly", told PTI.
Vineet says his aim has always been to do good films and play strong roles.
"I am not here for survival and settlement. I would have become doctor and opened a clinic. I am just hungry for good work. I want to do challenging work, be it small film as a protagonist or doing big film that has an important role."
"I want to be honest between action and cut, convey what the character wants to say. I acted depending on the brief of the director Reema Kagti, she has worked very hard on the film and getting the background correct. It motivates me that people like my work."
"I truly believe your good work is remembered. I am getting offers across all genres from a comedy to satire to thriller to dark and sports films. I have noticed that there is a rise in offers especially of different kind."
