Actor Rishabh Sawhney<\/a> has returned to India after marking his presence at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival with his film Echoes of Valour. The actor, known for his incredible performance in Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone-starrer Fighter, opened up about getting typecast.<\/p>\n

He also revealed that doing an Indie movie was his personal decision.<\/p>\n

In a recent conversation, Rishabh Sawhney revealed that he was not afraid of being typecast. However, he also mentioned that after making his debut in Fighter with the role of an evil terrorist, he had rejected multiple such roles.<\/p>\n

Revealing how this was his personal choice, he told Hindustan Times, \u201cAfter Fighter, I was being typecast and was only offered macho villainous roles. They weren\u2019t intriguing enough to pursue.”<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old, who also experimented with his looks to play the character in Fighter, stated, \u201cI was always looking for a festival film to do next. As much as I love commercial films, I wanted to explore this side of storytelling. It wasn\u2019t difficult for me to transition from commercial cinema. It was my conscious choice.”<\/p>\n

Despite Rishabh\u2019s recent movie, Echoes of Valour, making a big impact on global platforms, the actor doesn\u2019t feel that he has already reached a significantly successful stage in his career. \u201cI don\u2019t think that I have arrived yet. My experience working on the film (Echoes of Valour) was very emotional, and I am glad the film received great response,” Rishabh shared.<\/p>\n

Drawing a comparison between both the worlds\u2013 commercial and Indie cinema, he quipped, \u201cBoth my directors, Sidharth Anand (for Fighter) and Indira Dhar (for Echoes of Valour), have different kinds of sensibilities when it comes to filmmaking. I was definitely more confident on the sets of my festival film as I had shot a mega-budgeted Fighter earlier.”<\/p>\n
