Riteish Deshmukh wants to do drama and crime thrillers now!

Riteish Deshmukh, who has an outstanding timing for comedy and who has been seen in comedy films mostly, now says that he need to move on to the next level and that’s crime thrillers.

The actor will soon be seen in the sequel to Masti, opposite the original cast Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani and will soon go on the floors. He says, it’s high time he stops doing sequels and concentrate on dramas and thrillers.

“My next film will be ‘Masti 2′. I will start shooting in the first week of August,” Riteish Deshmukh told.

“It is myself, Aftab and Vivek in the film. It’s my fourth film with Indra Kumar I feel like I am married to him,” Riteish, told.

“This is my third sequel and then the fourth one will come, then I will stop doing sequels because all the comedies that I am doing are sequels – Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum (a sequel to ‘Kyaa Kool Hai Hum’) and ‘Masti 2′. I have not done a new comedy.”

“In fact, in my case, it has been the other way round. ‘Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya’ happened and it was a rom com where Genelia (D’Souza) is more aggressive character. Thankfully, it worked.”

“Obviously these series of films that I am doing are sequels, they are brands and they are bound to be comedy. After these films things have changed because people’s perception has changed so now I am looking forward to do one drama and one crime thriller.”

Riteish’s next film is “Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum”.

Actor Riteish Deshmukh, who has a string of hit comedy movies under his belt, is now planning to get serious with a thriller and a black comedy.

Some of Riteish's hit comedies include "Masti", "Kya Kool Hai Hum", "Malamaal Weekly", "Heyy Babyy", "Dhamaal" and "Housefull."

Asked if he is bored of the comedy genre, Riteish told, "I am not bored of comedies, I have done four comedy films. When did I say that I am bored of comedies?"

He was last seen in "Housefull 2", and his forthcoming movie "Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum" is a sex comedy.

He admits the poster of the film, a sequel to the 2005 "Kya Kool Hai Hum", is "naughty".

There's a special reason behind actress Genelia D'Souza's latest short hairdo. It was her husband, actor Riteish Deshmukh's suggestion, and Genelia was all for it because she feels he has a great sense of style.

"Riteish has a great sense of style, for sure. Actually, it was Riteish's idea and he had for long asked me why I don't try going short," the 24-year-old told.

The makeover is something she couldn't have experimented with while filming a movie.

"Normally, due to continuity issues, you don't get the opportunity to try a different style. I thought there is a break after marriage so let me do something that's different and new," added Genelia, who wedded Riteish in February.

Talking about her style statement, she said that since her college days, she loves street fashion.

"I don't know what's the definition of stylish is, but what I have always enjoyed is being creative in my own space. In college, I used to have my entire hand filled with friendship bands and that used to be my style statement, be it with any outfit. They were of different colours and looked really cool," told Genelia, who played a college girl in the 2008-hit "Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na."

"Then when my jeans would fade away, I would cut them off and use them as shorts or (wore) shirts tied up. So I like that kind of style and I would say I enjoy street style more when it is about casual dressing," she further added.
