Approaching people for work hasn't worked for me, says Randeep Hooda!

Actor Randeep Hooda, who proved his mettle with "Highway" once again, tells whenever he approached people for work it didn't work.

"Approaching people for work has not worked for me. People who came to me with work has worked," Randeep said journalists during a group interview.

However, Randeep, who started acting with internationally highly praised movie "Monsoon Wedding", has been appreciated for his work in "D", "Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai", "Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster" and "Jannat 2".

He has won appreciation for playing a rustic yet sociable villain in Imtiaz Ali directed "Highway". The 37-year-old considers himself lucky to be part of the road film in which he is paired with Alia Bhatt.

"I think the film chose me and I am lucky to be part of the movie. Imtiaz is a great director. I don't think you can become a star with one movie because you have to keep churning out good work. But, yes I am certainly lucky to be part of the film," told Randeep. 

Dangerous journey of 'Highway' team!

Continuous landslides, narrow and perilous roads - the journey of the "Highway" team was full of danger while driving down the road to Tabo in Himachal Pradesh to shoot for director Imtiaz Ali's road film.

The crew members' perilous journey is captured in the latest episode of "Highway Diaries", a short video snippet.

They drove through the narrow and perilous roads of the northern state with continuous landslides. A big stone fell from the mountains and broke the windscreen of one of their cars, forcing them to halt and wait for the bulldozer machines to clear the road, told a statement.

The video diary ends with actress Alia Bhatt, who features in the movie, delivering her lines that rightly describe the breathtaking location - "Tumne kabhi bataya nahi ki duniya aisi bhi hai, unbelievable! (You never told me that world is like this)".

Presented by Sajid Nadiadwala, "Highway", which stars Randeep Hooda in the male lead, captures the landscape of the various regions in the country.

The crew has already shot in Jammu, Delhi and Punjab. The film will hit theatres Feb 21.
