The upcoming Mithiya is another off-beat film for Ranvir Shorey and the actor’s really looking forward to it.

“It’s my second film with Rajat Kapoor and I play a very complex part in it. It’s the story of a struggling actor who has stars in his eyes about making it big in tinsel town and how life spirals him in another direction,” says Ranvir.

While Ranvir himself had no such illusions when he entered the film industry, he accepts that working with Rajat Kapoor is wonderful. “Rajat and I have been working together for the past eight years and worked on several plays and films, including Bheja Fry. And working with people who have similar sensibilities is always a great experience,” says the actor, whose career graph boasts of small budget films like Khosla Ka Ghosla, Honeymoon Travels Pvt Limited and Pyaar ke Side Effects .

But his recent films like Aaja Nachle and No Smoking have been pukka commercial films – a conscious move? “Honestly, I don’t choose films as commercial, off-beat, big-budget, multi-starrers or non-starrers. My only concern is the way a story is being narrated and if that’s in place, I have no hassles about taking up the film,” he says.

But considering the absolute no-show of No Smoking , does he regret doing it? “I had my own reasons for taking up No Smoking. Anurag Kashyap is a friend and I thought that we were making a path-breaking film – I still stand by it. It’s sad it wasn’t accepted but that’s fine with me,” maintains Ranvir.

But he will be going off the beaten track with a suspense thriller, Teesri Manzil , with Irrfan Khan. “And then there’s Ugly Aur Pagli with Mallika Sherawat and I’m 24 coming up next,” says the actor.
