Mumbai: Experimenting with roles hasn't yielded the desired change in image for actor Riteish Deshmukh who says his fans refuse to accept him in any other role because he has carved such a niche as a comedy actor.
"I tried breaking out of the comedy genre, but audiences pushed me back into it. I did Rann and no one went to see it. I did Aladin, no one bothered about it. Whenever I try to do something different, unfortunately they don't work," Riteish told.
"If I were Salman Khan, I would have solo hits every day. I am not Salman Khan so I have to figure it out. I did four films and none of them worked. I had four back-to-back flops before Housefull came to me," added the actor.
Experience has taught the actor to remain faithful to multi-starrer comedies after four of his films - Kal Kissne Dekha, Aladin, Rann and Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai tanked at the box office.
"I think action films requires courage. The filmmakers have to figure out whether you can do such films or not. Last action movie I did was Cash, but it failed at the box office," said Riteish.
