Randeep Hooda doesn’t consider himself mainstream and he also believes that streaming services can turn out to be a platform blurring the borders among artists across the world.

Finally, Netflix’s hotly awaited nonstop action-thriller film Extraction released today 24 April after months of waiting. The film stars the ''tough Aussie'' Chris Hemsworth and also marks the first Hollywood project of Bollywood star Randeep Hooda.

Without a doubt, Randeep has stepped out of his comfort zone to co-star with Hollywood big names in a huge project. It’s not far off the mark to say if the film becomes a new hit of this steaming service, then it will be a stepping stone for the actor riding high on the competitive international film market in the future.

Extraction marks the Hollywood debut of Randeep Hooda

In the film, Hooda steps into Saju’s shoes who is a man responsible for bringing Tyler Rake (played by Chris Hemsworth) to the extraction.

Helmed by Sam Hargrave and produced by Avengers: Infinity Wars directors Russo Brother, the film sees Randeep in a rugged and chiseled role. In an interaction with media, Bollywood star revealed that he loved being a part of this out-and-out action drama and it will open more opportunities for him to work in similar international films down the line.

He said,

"My character, as they say, is the wrecking ball. He is responsible for Chris and other characters' involvement. His people don't have the money so he feels that we will just give them the job and when it's time to pay, he will just whack them out and take the boy home. "But it turns out that Rake is a tough Aussie and you cannot get past that.”

In fact, Hooda doesn’t consider himself mainstream and he also believes that streaming services can turn out to be a platform blurring the borders among artists across the world. Yes, now both Bollywood and Hollywood actors can be seen on the same screen.

He also shares that as he is an actor and all he needs is just a good script. English perhaps doesn’t bring him a sense of comfort but being a parrot is his strong suit.
