Sure, it’s unusual, but Suvinder Vicky’s analogy perfectly captures his recent spate of films. “I am that halwai ki dukan where you’ll get a variety of sweets,” chuckled the actor. The diversity in his films is evident — after Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Satluj, Vicky is now awaiting the release of Awarapan 2.  

Directed by Nitin Kakkar, the Emraan Hashmi-starrer is as mainstream as they come, but to Vicky, it’s an “offbeat” movie. He has his reasons. “I haven’t done a musical before. In every project, they put a garland over my character’s wife’s picture [implying she has passed away]. Even I want to romance on screen. Even though Emraan will be doing all of this here, I am at least part of it,” he laughed. The actor is hopeful that Awarapan 2 will lead to more opportunities in mainstream Hindi cinema.
