Plays a dark character in Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster

Randeep Hooda takes on a dark character in Tigmanshu Dhulia's next, titled Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster.

Apart from him, the movie also stars Jimmy Sheirgill and Mahie Gill. Sources reveal the film is a twisted thriller version of Guru Dutt's Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam.

Hooda left last night for a month-long schedule in Baroda. Says a source close to Randeep, "He's quite excited to be a part of this project.

After Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai earlier this year, he now wants to take on challenging roles."

When contacted Randeep refused to divulge any details about the project. "Yes I am doing the film, but can't really reveal beyond that. I am thrilled to be working with Tigmanshu as he's a truly creative person."
