Raastha actor Sarjano Khalid explains why he is not excited about celebrity privilege

In a conversation with Silly Monks Mollywood, actor Sarjano Khalid discussed the rationale behind his decision to feature in his upcoming movie, Raastha. He said he thought it was a great idea to film most of the movie in a desert.

"I do not have the luxury of being overly picky right now. After June, I was approached by many people to play chocolate boy roles. But I enjoy playing a variety of roles," he remarked.

The Big Brother actor continued by saying that he is not excited by celebrity privilege, and people’s approach towards him changed after coming to films.

I hope that Raastha will be well received by the public," he said.
