'Don't want to get into the rat race'

New Delhi: Aparshakti Khurana is getting offers of lead roles with great money, but he doesn't want to rush into it. The actor says he is waiting for the right script and the right part.

"There are a lot of people who approached me after Dangal and Stree to do films in lead roles with great money. But I don't want to rush into it," said Aparshakti.

"I want you to call me with a happy face that the film is rocking... And that will only happen if I make wise and patient decisions. So I am just kind of waiting for the right script and not jumping the gun and not rushing into it," he added.

Explaining the reason behind his decision, he said: "A lot of actors have made that mistake. Apart from Rajkummar Rao, nobody has been able to do that... Somebody who used to do smaller roles and then come into the big proper male lead character. Apart from Rajkummar, I don't think anyone else has been able to do that."

From Dangal, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Stree to his latest release Luka Chuppi, Aparshakti, the younger brother of Ayushmann Khurrana, has made his presence felt in the narrative irrespective of the length of the supportive characters.

Directed by debutant Laxman Utekar, Luka Chuppi starring Kartik Aaryan explores live-in relationships, and is working well at the box office.
