Deepak Dobriyal has emerged as a wizard of comedy with impeccable comic timing and sharp sense of humour, but the "Tanu Weds Manu Returns" actor says he's not just a funny guy. He says he wants to explore "complex stories" too as he doesn't want to fade away in the comic sphere.
The actor, whose character Pappi Singh from Aanand L. Rai's directorial, has turned out to be quite an attraction, is also inclined towards film direction.
"I want to do something offbeat. I want to do complex stories, which have not been tried till now. It can be romantic, drama, based on relationships or on a real life incident or a biopic. We have to do something different or else we will disappear in comedy," Deepak told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
The actor also expounded over his oscillating interest towards the art of narrating tales through camera.
"I have one or two topics in mind. But I'm confused whether I should act in or direct them. This is the reason I have not come to a decision about them yet," he said, adding that he "will direct offbeat films keeping Indian audience's sensibilities in mind".
The actor made his way into the heart of audience as a sweet and affable wingman guiding R. Madhavan's love life while finding his ladylove in the sequel of the film "Tanu Weds Manu".
It's not only Kangana Ranaut or R. Madhavan who have come out as the stars of the film. Deepak too has left an imprint with his witty one-liners.
