" idea has always been and still continues to remain that way, which is to do unconventional stuff, which are closer to me or t closer to me, or be an alternate voice,” Massey told PTI.

It is natural for actor to be drawn towards "things which are unconventional", he ded.

"Probably I was naturally drawn towards se things, wher it was cinema, or like my favourite sports, or reing books, actors I mire or kind of cinema I grew up watching,” he said.

As an actor, Massey said he is aware that t many filmmakers are willing to bet on him for solo atrical releases as yet.

"My films are t in cinema (atres) and I am pretty much aware of that. And I also kw why y are t in cinema, especially when I am leing a cast, is because I still haven’t arrived in business. re is a long way but I am happy with way I am doing and kind of stories I am telling,” 35-year-old actor said.

His next release is “Gaslight”, also starring Sara Ali Khan and Chitranga Singh.

mystery-thriller is directed by Pavan Kirpalani and is produced by Ramesh Taurani and Akshai Puri.

In movie, Massey plays Kapil, a subservient manr-assistant.

“This is a classic whodunit so re are certain tropes, re are certain limitations with genre. I am playing a character like rest of us, who are seen as culprit. Kapil has his own grey areas, like all of us, and re is a lot of human element to him as well, like rest of cast,” he said.

"Gaslight" will be released on streaming service Disney+ Hotstar on Friday.
