Multi-starrers are important: Shreyas

Mumbai, March 20 (IANS) Actor Shreyas Talpade, who has starred in a slew of multi-starrers, feels such films have their own charm and should not be missed in the race to bag solo roles.

"Multistarrers have their own charm and uniqueness, which I don't want to miss out on just because I want to do a solo film. The speciality of a multi-starrer is that so many people come together and try to make an entertainer," said Shreyas, who has films like "Om Shanti Om", "Golmaal" series, "Teen Thay Bhai"and "Will You Marry Me?" to his credit.

"I think it's great fun and as an actor also if you probably manage to stand out in all of them... you also feel good that amidst all the people you also managed to hold your ground and carve a niche for yourself," he added.

The actor is now gearing up for the release of yet another multi-starrer "Housefull 2", which stars Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Riteish Deshmukh, Asin, Jacqueline Fernandez, Zarine Khan, Shazahn Padamsee, Mithun Chakraborty, Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor and Boman Irani. Directed by Sajid Khan, the film is slated for release April 5.

"I have known Sajid for a long time and he is a really dear friend. But to work under him as a director was a completely new experience. His commentary starts after saying action. The actor is acting and the co-actor is reacting and Sajid is shouting and giving directions to dance, jump and act. In the middle of all this chaos, you are performing," he said.

"It's a new experience for all of us. In fact Riteish and Akki had a clue about it. Me and John were totally clueless on the first day. But it was great fun," he added.
