After erotic thriller, Sharman eyes biopic, sci-fi genres

Actor Sharman Joshi says he enjoys dabbling in different genres as an actor and, given a chance, he'd love to explore the experience of working either in a biopic, a historical drama or may be a sci-fi entertainer.

The actor, who will be soon seen in "Hate story 3", said here: "I always feel like doing something new everytime. That's why I have tried almost all genres in my career. Now I want to do a historical, a sci-fi (film) or a biopic.

"I wanted to act in an erotic thriller and now it has been listed off."

He is especially keen on a biopic.

"I would love to do a biopic. It's a challenge to portray an actual character," he said.

Asked which personality would he like to portray on screen, Sharman said: "There is no particular choice. Actually, it depends on the makers and writer."

Sharman, whose work has been appreciated in films like "Rang De Basanti", "Life in a... Metro" and "3 Idiots", said that with experience, he has realised that "you can't say 'never'" in the film industry.

"You have to be open to all possibilities. As an actor, I thrive on constant challenges, and changes. Otherwise, work gets boring," he added.

Directed by Vishal Pandya, "Hate Story 3" also stars Zareen Khan, Daisy Shah and Karan Singh Grover. Written by Vikram Bhatt and Madhuri Banerji, the film is a sequel to Pandya's 2014 thriller "Hate Story 2", and is scheduled to be released on December 4.
