Vineet Kumar Singh is an impeccable actor and anyone who has seen his performance in films like Mukkabaaz, Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, Gold or Bard Of Blood would not even think of disagreeing. The actor was seen in a supporting role in Gangs of Wasseypur, and shot to famme with Mukkabaaz. However, he hasn't always gotten roles where he was visible.

In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, the actor opened up about doing uncredited roles for a long time. He revealed, “It’s not as if I haven’t done this already. In my career, I’ve performed as the duplicate heroes, too. In a film called Padmashree Laloo Prasad Yadav (2005), I played Suniel Shetty sahab’s duplicate. There was a film called Rakht, there was a big star and the shot was about a dead body. It was the last shot, and they wanted someone with the same height and structure, it was me. I’ve done these uncredited roles. Mera career ek ek scene se bana hai, maine jahan kaam kiya, wahan logon ke mujhe repeat kiya.”

In fact, the actor who will next be seen in a film called Aadhar, said that he co-wrote Mukkabaaz because he wasn't getting a good opportunity in Mumbai. He said, “I did Bombay Talkies, Gangs of Wasseypur... tareef bauhaut mili, lekin jis cheez ke liye main Mumbai aaya tha, woh nahi ho raha tha. That’s why I took this decision to write a story for myself, and I co-wrote Mukkabaaz with my sister.”

We hope we get to see more of Vineet on the big screens and he gets more opportunities of his likings in the future.
