Three years later, the actor\u2019s dream came true, and he got the chance to join forces with the legendary filmmaker, playing the lead role in D (2005) that was penned and co-produced by RGV. But before casting Randeep in D, helmed by Vishram Sawant, RGV had approached the actor to play a small role in his production venture Ab Tak Chhappan (2004), starring Nana Patekar.<\/p>\n<p>Recalling the same, Randeep told Shubhankar Mishra on his YouTube channel, \u201cAfter my theatre play, I was called by RGV. He wanted me to play a young officer\u2019s role in Ab Tak Chhappan. When they asked me about it, I refused. I said, \u2018I have come here to play <a rel=\"noamphtml\" class=\"keywordtourl\" href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/about\/nana-patekar\/\">Nana Patekar<\/a>\u2019s role. I am not doing this role.\u2019 They asked me to meet RGV. I met him. He told me, \u2018I love your attitude. Show me your body.\u2019 He told me we would do a film called <em>Ek<\/em> in which I was supposed to play a villain. But that film didn\u2019t get made. My girlfriend at that time scolded me for showing an attitude in front of RGV and not having humility. The next day, when I went to meet him, I talked to him politely and humbly, and he said, \u2018I liked you better yesterday.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p><ev-engagement group-name=\"contentLogin\"\/><ev-engagement group-name=\"myNotification\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"ev-meter-content ie-premium-content-block\">\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"HZBIkzBFwvA\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LIVE - Randeep Hooda &amp; Hansal Mehta: A Candid Conversation About Life, Cinema &amp; Society\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HZBIkzBFwvA?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Randeep went on to reveal how RGV kept him on a salary so that the actor wouldn\u2019t have to seek other roles after their film <em>Ek<\/em> got shelved.
