Randeep Hooda on why every role feels like his first
Talking about if acting is ever easy for him or does every role still bring a level of fear and uncertainty, Randeep told IANS: 'If you're not uncertain and you're not feeling like, oh my God, this time, I personally, this time they're going to discover that I don't know anything about acting. That is what keeps me on my toes and I really believe that.
'It's always as if I'm doing my first job.'
Asked what he believes is more powerful – what the actor says or what the actor doesn't say, Randeep told IANS: 'Whatever you say are just your thoughts. And most of us try to hide our thoughts or don't completely say what we mean.'
'So it is the distance between those. I think speaking is the last form of any communication between two human beings.'
On the big screen front, Randeep will next be seen in the epic war drama 'Operation Khukri' lined-up.
Randeep has secured the official movie rights to 'Operation Khukri: The Untold Story of the Indian Army's Bravest Peacekeeping Mission Abroad' by Major General Rajpal Punia, and Damini Punia.
The film 'Operation Khukri' will bring to screen the harrowing real-life events from 2000, when 233 Indian soldiers were held hostage by rebel forces in Sierra Leone, West Africa, and the subsequent high-risk rescue mission that followed.
He will also be seen in the American action adventure comedy film titled 'Matchbox', directed by Sam Hargrave. The film is set to be released in fall 2026.
Matchbox is based on the toy brand of the same name, it also stars John Cena, Jessica Biel, Sam Richardson, Arturo Castro, Teyonah Parris, Randeep, Danai Gurira, and Corey Stoll.

'I was a baby, Gill is a leader' – Sunil Gavaskar declares Shubman's 754 vs England more valuable than his own 774 vs West Indies in 1971
Sunil Gavaskar gifted Shubman Gill a shirt and a cap with SG initials. (Screengrabs) Legendary India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said Shubman Gill 's 754 runs are far better than what he achieved way back in 1971. Gill finished with 754 runs, just 20 short of Gavaskar's record of 774, during the fifth Test against England in London on August 3. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "I think in anticipation of him going past my record, I got something for him. But well, I mean, this is all in God's hands. But 754 runs, it's fantastic," he said on Sony Sports. "The difference is that 754 came with the additional responsibility of being captain. I was the baby of the team. You know, it wouldn't have mattered if I had failed. "Nobody would have given a hoot if I had failed. But to be the captain and score 750-plus runs—750-plus runs where he's making a difference to his side's fortunes. Don't go by those 20 runs, but just see what that 754 has done for Indian cricket." Following the day's play, Gavaskar presented Gill with a personalized shirt bearing his initials "SG" and a special autographed cap. "I have got a gift for you in anticipation of you going past (me). At least you've got something to aim for in the next series. It is just a little gift. It is a shirt with SG initials; someone made it for me, and I am giving this to you, but I don't know if it will fit you. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo This is a cap that I give to very few people with my signature. All the best," Gavaskar told Gill in a video shared on X by Sony Sports. The match saw an impressive tactical display by Gill and Mohammed Siraj in the final moments of Day 3. They executed a clever strategy by setting up the field for a bouncer but instead delivered a yorker that dismissed Zak Crawley. Gavaskar expressed his admiration for the tactical play and made a promise regarding the next day's play: "That last over was fantastic. Sending a fielder over there but then bowling the yorker. Tomorrow I am going to wear my lucky jacket, which I wore in Australia—the white one during the Gabba Test—on the last day."
