He is often panned as the king of sequels, but actor Ritiesh Deshmukh vows that his latest films, ‘Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum’ and ‘Masti 2’ will be his last. The actor, who seems to have stuck with the formula – comedy and sequels – quips, “Yes, two sequels have been successful at the box office, ‘Double Dhamaal’ and more recently ‘Housefull 2’. I hope that my latest sequels will also be appreciated by the audience. After that there will be no more sequels for me. I have had my share of foursomes.” So, what’s the drawback of doing sequels? “The drawback is that you tend to repeat yourself in the film. Only good and entertaining films can guarantee success,” he says. Ritiesh, who has elicited laughs in ‘Housefull 2’ and ‘F.A.L.T.U’, switched tracks in ‘Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya’, (TNLHG) a romantic comedy alongside wife Genelia. Ask him about getting out of his comfort zone and he says, “‘TNLHG’ was a genre shift for me, a romcom that I did after years. I would love to experiment with other genres too.” Even though his latest film sent the cash registers ringing at the BO, critics drubbed it as a no-brainer. And while it is a well-known fact that Ritiesh and his ‘Housefull 2’ co-star Akshay Kumar are good friends, the former has been sweating it out with Akki in the gym too. “During the shoot, we would work out together and believe me, his training sessions can literally kill you,” he says.
