Zayed Khan likes action movies
Zayed Khan’s getting his second wind in his short acting career after the mammoth success of Main Hoon Na in 2004 with Shah Rukh Khan. He’s been a part of projects that didn’t do very much for his career after that.
But now, the tide seems to have turned. Insiders who have watched the Apoorva Lakhia directed Mission Istanbul’s promos can’t stop raving about the film, particularly Zayed’s bespectacled look and performance in the zany cuts.
Mission Istanbul is Zayed’s next release and he’s attempted a very different look and departed from his earlier style of acting too. “I play a journalist in Mission Istanbul and it’s a character which I have enjoyed playing thoroughly. It’s got action, drama, restrain and a look that spells egdy — it’s a very contemporary film and a sign of the times we live in,” says Zayed. He’s gearing up to shoot a song for the film soon and promises it’s a great number.
Evey actor finds his own niche after dabbling in all sorts of genres and Zayed is no exception. “I think I am very comfortable in the action genre, but then, it’s too early to say. I have to experiment with a whole lot more to define my niche so to speak,” says the actor.
He’s also working on Subhash Ghai’s Yuvraj with Salman Khan. Yuvraj is up for release during Diwali and Zayed plays a rich, spoilt brat in the film.
“My character in Yuvraj is a very exciting one, unrestrained and full of life. I have enjoyed playing this role under Subhashji’s direction,” he says.
Well for Zayed, things certainly seem to be looking up on all fronts — be it professional or personal.
“It does seem like that. My son Zidaan makes me feel on top of the world and my films too are looking great. I just hope they meet with the success that I am hoping for,” he smiles
