Ladies man Randeep Hooda

These include Ketan Mehta's lavish bilingual film titled, Rang Rasiya made in Hindi whilst the English version is called Colours of Passion. Randeep plays the enigmatic Raja Ravi Verma, the flamboyant pioneering painter in the movie.

He will also star in Mere Khawabon Mein Jo Aaye where he plays the ultimate ladies man and a woman's fantasy. He is co-starring with Arbaaz Khan and Raima Sen.

In this film, he plays 18 different characters including Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Humphrey Bogart, James Bond and Zorro.

Last but not the least, is Love Khichdi, where Randeep is paired opposite seven actresses. Here, he will be seen as a testosterone driven young chef, confused about love and out to experiment with or rather discover life with the ladies.

So will the pre-publicity of these films be affected because of this accident?:
'Randeep is thrice as passionate about his work as he is about horses. I don't think he will leave any stone unturned to see that his films suffer because of this mishap,' says Bhagwagar, his publicist.

'Randeep has a never-say-die spirit and attitude. Don't be surprised if he ends up at the premieres of his films in crutches or a wheelchair. Its not that easy to stop a guy like Randeep,’ he adds.
