Randeep Hooda on Indians typecast in Hollywood

In the same conversation, Randeep mentioned that Western cinema has a habit of pigeonholing Indians into insignificant roles. He asserted that through Extraction, he must break the stereotype. He mentioned, “We Indians are not considered physically strong, but the extraction allowed me to show that Indians are physically strong. If you look at the representation of Indians in English films, you will mostly play roles that portray them as taxi drivers, technicians, doctors, etc. So when I was cast opposite Chris Hemsworth, I took the opportunity and prepared for the role.

He added that the role opened the door to more opportunities and that he couldn't refuse the offer to star alongside Hemsworth, known for his role as Thor in wonder movies. The 47-year-old actor said: Aree Thor ke saath do do haath karne ka mauka mil raha hai. Isse accha mauka mujhe nahin milega (I told myself, I'm going to fight Thor. I won't get a better opportunity than this). This gave me a lot of stature as an actor and international visibility. He also expressed a desire to direct a film like Extraction, now that he has ventured into directing.
