New Delhi July 18 (IANS) Actor Shaleen Bhanot says he has not played a "quintessential hero" for the longest time so he would like to play that first.
"This year I am not in haste. I want to do something good. For me work is always good. It is never bad but when I say good work I mean to play a good character and not a bad one " Shaleen told IANS.
"I was playing Duryodhan in Suryaputra Karn . I want some positive roles now. I love them. Also I have realised that I have not played a quintessential hero for the longest time so maybe I will play that first " he added.
He featured in the opening episode of Colors new show "Kaun Hai".
Horror and supernatural seem to be the favourite genres of the telly world.
"Every human being has a head and hair but everyone is unique. It s the same thing with shows. The way I had shot it and the way it came out was brilliant. It is scary " he said.
"I am a five-year-old kid when it comes to horror movies. I have seen two-three films. I hate my friends for that. But I closed by eyes and shut my ears " he said.
This is not his first horror show. He had also appeared in "Ssshhhh...Phir Koi Hai" and "Aahat".
"I had done those about 12 years ago and in these 10-12 years I had not done any horror show. The definition of horror was completely different back then. Now it is actually scary. The prosthetics and all look very real " said Shaleen.
So why did he take up "Kaun Hai"?
"I usually don t do episodic shows. It was the launch episode so I took it. It was shot in Kashmir and I am very fascinated by hills and mountains. It was great fun " he said.
He is also set to make his Hollywood debut.
"I am too nervous about it. I am happy about it " he said.
