Ruslaan is happy playing second fiddle

Ruslaan Mumtaaz has been seen in two movies MP3 and Tere Sang . But in his third film, he is not playing the lead. Ruslaan plays Riteish Deshmukh's friend in Jane Kahan Se Aayi Hai. He is, however, nonchalant about being the second lead."This is the first time I have done such a big film. It is the kind of film I would like to go and watch. So I thought why not be part of it. Also, working with Riteish was great as he is extremely humble. I remember a time when I was supposed to dance in front of 100 of dancers and I was quite nervous. But Riteish supported me really well," says Ruslaan.And though his mother has been an actress, Ruslaan says Bollywood is a strange and tough place to be in, especially when your films do well."Bollywood is a tough place to survive. If a film works, everything works for you but if it does not, then you stumble too. You can only try to do some good work," he says. Interestingly, even as he plays the second lead, his character happens to be that of a superstar."I play the only serious character in the film. I actually play someone like Hrithik Roshan whose debut film is a hit and becomes a superstar," Ruslaan adds.
