Role Call

“The film is about a housewife (Raima Sen) whose husband (Arbaaz Khan) is having an extramarital affair.

Her search for an ideal man sparks off her imagination and I take the shape of her 18 fantasy men,” says Hooda. His characters often derive from popular male icons and vary from that a Haryanvi cop to James Bond. “I’ve played a chef,Zorro,Humphrey Bogart,Elvis Presley,Amitabh Bachchan in Mukkadar ka Sikandar,Dharmendraji from Shalimar; basically,every attractive man you can think of,” he says,adding that his personal favourite is the character of a sexy model. “I arrive shirtless at Raima’s doorstep and ask her ‘Thoda doodh milega?’ It’s hilarious.”

The actor is still recovering from a recent leg injury from playing polo and will be promoting his film on crutches. “That should win some sympathy,” he smiles.

And many votes,we think.
