Riteish Deshmukh on B-Town’s toughest pill, criticism, multi-starrers, entourage culture, SRK-Salman

In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble host Ankita Bhalla, actor-producer Riteish Deshmukh, who is set to make his OTT series debut with ‘Pill’, shares the hardest pill to swallow while working in the showbiz industry and how his late father, Vilasrao Deshmukh’s advice stood the test of time. Riteish calls himself an accidental actor, reveals his obsession with only Hindi films and music, being stereotyped for the larger part of his career in adult-comedies and how he paved his way out. Ritesih further dwells on his equations with Amitabh Bachchan to Shah Rukh Khan-Salman Khan and why he is a secure multi-starrer film actor. Riteish, who is also a producer, weighs the ill-trend of entourage costs and how filmmaking has been weighed down by its pressure.
