Actor Ashmit Patel wants to do more work even after missing a number of opportunities in the industry.
“I’ve got many chances in the industry. In fact most people in my position don’t get the number of chances, I’ve got. But, I don’t think I’ve maximised my potential,” Patel said.
“I’ve only [got] one hit film to my credit, which is way back in 2004. But, sure I want to do more films in future,” he said.
“Call it karma or whatever that I’m still working in the industry. I do have a wish list of directors I would like to work with. But I believe that you get offers or choices of what you deserve.
“The day I deserve to do a film with Raj Kumar Hirani, he will come to me. That’s the way the universe works, which is my belief,” he said.
Patel is now looking forward to his upcoming film Dongri Ka Raja, which also stars Ronit Roy, Gashmeer Mahajani and Reecha Sinha.
He calls himself lucky to have worked with actor like Roy, who has starred in films such as Jaan Tere Naam, Udaan and Two States.
“I’m blessed to have worked with Ronit. I wish I was in his position, not to take his position but, where I had a choice of saying no to filmmakers. But for that, maybe I need to work harder,” Patel said.
The Murder star hopes that the film does well as he is returning on the big screen almost after two years. His last was Salman Khan film Jai Ho.
“I’m not having any sort of expectation as it always leads to disappointment. But, there is a hope that it does well for all of us, including me as it’s been a while since I’ve been on the screen. Also to able to get good work in future for myself, I want this film to work,” he said.
Dongri Ka Raja will hit theatres in India on November 11.
