His last few film appearances have seen
him play mostly characters with negative
or grey shades, as opposed to his body
of work on the small screen. Actor
Ronit Roy says nobody has offered him a
villainous role on TV in recent times.
If on the small screen, Ronit has often
been portrayed as a heart-warming
family man, he has played roles with an
evil streak in critically acclaimed films like
"Udaan", "Ugly" and "Guddu Rangeela".

Ronit Roy: I will take a long break from
television
On the big screen, Ronit will once again
be seen in a negative role in the
forthcoming Hrithik Roshan starrer
"Kaabil", with his younger brother Rohit.
Ronit says that it's not that he is
disinterested in doing a negative role in
TV shows.
"Nobody has offered me a role of a villain
on TV. I can do a negative role on
mediums depending on the concept. It
depends upon a lot of things -- what
kind of negative character it is, what is
the character doing, why is he doing so,
his ideology... Whether I do a negative
character or a positive character, the
ideology needs to be justified," Ronit told
IANS over phone from Mumbai.
Talking about the difference in roles he
has essayed on TV and films, Ronit says
that since 2010, he has worked in more
films than the number of TV shows he
has worked in, in over 15 years of his
career.
"The makers are different, the way a
director looks at a character is different.
In every film, you are essaying a different
character. It's like two-hour films in
comparison to shows that run for two
years or four years where an actor is
doing the same character," the 51-year-
old said.
Before his TV career took off in a big
way, Ronit had featured in bit roles in a
variety of movies. But after he worked
his way to be often touted as the
'Amitabh Bachchan of Indian television',
the doors for Bollywood opened for him
once again.

Ronit Roy
Ronit, who has worked in TV
entertainers like "Kasautii Zindagi Kay",
"Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi",
" Kasamh Se", "Bandini", "Adaalat" and
"Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyaar", says the two
mediums should not be compared.
"Even in a TV show, there are different
kinds of scenes, twists and turns. There
is scope for adapting or changing the
performance and to try different things.
It is not that one is good or one is bad --
they are just separate mediums.
"I have always said that the two
mediums are so different from each
other that a comparison should not be
made between them," said the actor,
who has also featured in movies like
"Student of the Year" and "2 States".
Talking about his TV projects as a
producer or a director, Ronit says that
discussions are still on as all parties
involved need to be on the same page
for anything to start.
"There has to be a unanimous
excitement so that we are able to deliver
something bigger and better and
newer."
