Vineet Kumar Singh is reuniting with his ‘Mukkabaaz’ director Anurag Kashyap again for a film and he is learning wrestling for it.

The actor, who also worked with Kashyap on films such as ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ and the ‘Murabba’ segment from the anthology film ‘Bombay Talkies’, said he considers himself lucky that directors and production houses like to repeat him.

“Right now, I am working with Anurag sir… It’s a different kind of film. I am learning wrestling. And the shoot is going on. The first schedule is done,” the actor, who will next be seen as a cop in Susi Ganesan’s ‘Ghuspaithiya’, told PTI in an interview.

Reflecting on that period, the actor said he probably got too attached to the outcome and the film’s failure affected him a lot.

“I think I had high hopes after that but things did not turn out the way I wanted. I was getting emotional in many interviews. Now, when I see it I wonder what happened to me back then. I realised I was attaching an outcome with the hard work,” he said, adding that he has now changed his attitude and focuses only on his process.

“In between, I decided that I will have a new innings and it took two-three years… I took time to restart just like the film ‘12th Fail’ and good things are there,” he said.

The actor, 39, said one faces a “lot of rejections” in the profession but “the faster you get over it, the better.
