Bengali actor Rudranil debuts in Maidaan

 “I did my first (Bollywood) film with Naseer ji (Naseeruddin Shah) and Ribhu Dasgupta back in 2012.

Although the film never released in theatres due to some legal issues, Naseer ji and I became very good friends. He admires my work a lot but I have never asked him to give me a break in Bollywood or help me get a role. Vidya Balan is also an admirer of my work, but I have never asked her for a favour regarding getting a chance in Bollywood,” Rudranil said. The actor, who has over 14 years of experience in Bengali cinema and is known for his histrionic excellence, wants people to know him for his work. “If someone wants to cast me — in Bollywood or in any other industry — they should see my work first and cast me purely on the basis of my performance. I believe, maybe someone somewhere is looking for an actor like me. So, instead of me knocking at their doors, let them come to me,” he says.
