New Delhi, Sep 19 (PTI) Actor Vineet Kumar Singh says he finds many similarities between his journey and the small-town writer he plays in "Superboys of Malegaon", their love for cinema being one. As someone who grew up in Varanasi and was pursuing medicine, Vineet believes it was destiny that brought him to Mumbai and naivete that kept him going at a time when many of his friends decided not to stay the course. In "Superboys of Malegaon", the actor plays Farogh Jafri, screenwriter of wacky spoof films "Malegaon Ke Sholay" and "Malegaon Ka Superman" whose dream of crossing over to Bollywood remained unfulfilled.
Vineet, known for his work in films such as "Mukkabaaz", "Gangs of Wasseypur", "Ugly", and "Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl", said he has always believed in trusting the larger picture. "I'm here purely because of my love for cinema. I related with my character and when that happens, it becomes easier.
I was destined to come here. Where I come from there was no one who came before me in the industry. A lot of my very intelligent friends went back.
Sometimes being a little less intelligent is not such a bad thing "I faced a lot of troubles but I'm here because I had faith that I am supposed to be here. With experience, you try to gauge what the outcome is going to be and that's where you start making mistakes," he told PTI in an interview here. Big things weren't done thinking about the result in the first place, he said, adding that a great result is often a byproduct .
