The publicity pictures of him kissing Sushmita Sen in the film "Karma, Confessions And Holi" smack of the producer's desperation, says upcoming actor Randeep Hooda. "I'm disgusted by the producers. Surely they've got more to attract the public to the theatres than a kiss between two actors? By flashing one scene, they're just being cheap and undignified in their promotion. May be they need a less cheesy publicity machinery," Randeep The last time a smooch scene featuring Sushmita was splashed about, she had blown her top. "And she should protest against this tacky publicity again. It's not right," said her ex-beau. Randeep isn't aware of the film's release plans. "No one has informed me. The kissing scenes are part of the film. And I'm not in the least embarrassed about kissing such a gorgeous woman on screen." The actor recalled the weeks spent shooting the film in New York with great affection. "It was a great experience. I had never been to America before and I was really looking forward to it. I wanted to see the American style of working first-hand. I've always been very inspired by American cinema. The experience boosted my confidence. Randeep said boundaries in cinema have disappeared. "But let me point out, 'Karma, Confessions And Holi' isn't a Hollywood film. It's an independent film made by Rapture Films. According to me, Hollywood films are those made by the studios in Los Angeles."This independent film gave me a chance to feel very independent. It took very little time to be shot. Having a slice of the Big Apple was a great experience. In essence, Mumbai and New York are very similar. I hired a limousine and travelled all over. I visited every possible watering hole. I loved the freedom and passion in New York." Randeep's sister was also in New York at the time. "She's a doctor, like my father, and she's got her residency in New York. My sister is my inspiration for becoming an actor." The actor continues to be extra picky about his roles.The young actor is on the verge of signing a bunch of new films.
