Aparshakti Khurana is one of those promising actors who haven't shown their full potential yet. Although he is largely known for portraying comic relief characters, Aparshakti is now all set to get serious in his next project. In director Kookie Gulati's next film 'Dhokha - Round D Corner' we'll see Aparshakti portraying a Kashmiri militant.

Talking about venturing into this new genre, the actor told IANS, “Har tarike ka kaam hona chahiye. I think I have many sides to my overall personality. When I was doing theatre in Delhi, I used to get only intense, dark roles and I would tell my director that I think my comic side is really good."

He further added, "But the director would say ‘no Apar, there is anger and intensity in your eyes, which will go really well with negative characters’. But when I started doing films, people only saw me doing comic roles. Then I thought every stage has a different acceptance. I am glad now that the other side of me as an artiste, which is intense or negative shade, can be delivered now. I have tried to show a different sides of myself as a performer and I hope that the audience accepts me in this new version on the big screen.”

Also starring R Madhavan, Khushali Kumar and Darshan Kumar, 'Dhokha - Round D Corner' will release on 23rd of September.
