Jeet Raidutt: I see a silver lining, now

“For someone who has no big support, living in a city like Mumbai was tough. But now, I see a silver lining with my films up for release and more work following,” said the ‘Commando2’, ‘Sabrang’ and ‘The Past’ actor.

Lockdown and its aftermath did cost Dehradun-lad and actor Jeet Raidutt, heavily. Four of his films that were all set to release, went on hold.

“For someone who has no big support, living in a city like Mumbai was tough. But now, I see a silver lining with my films up for release and more work following,” said the ‘Commando2’, ‘Sabrang’ and ‘The Past’ actor.

In the unlock phase, he shot a musical video ‘Khuda Jane’, web-series ‘Hacker’ directed by Vishwanath Roy and another series ‘Unwanted Guest’ directed by Alankar Singh in Dubai.

“Just before lockdown I had wrapped a detective web-series ‘The Paradox’ directed by Jitendra Gill. That will also be releasing soon on a major platform. But, first to release later this month is horror film ‘Scary Forest’ that we shot in Bangalore and Mumbai where I play the lead,” he said.

His other films that are set for up for release are ‘Decent Boy’, ‘Paap Culture’, ‘Kickboxer’ and Arya Babbar starrer ‘Zehan’ where he has a guest appearance.

A winner of Mr India 2012, the actor has shot ‘Decent Boy’ in Lucknow. “The film has been written and directed by Bobby Khan. It’s a good family-oriented film in which Ravi Kishen play the role of my elder brother while Govind Namdev will be seen playing my father. A portion of series ‘Hackers’ was also shot before lockdown in Lucknow but then the entire project was shot in Mumbai.”
