Bollywood actor Aditya Roy Kapoor, who will next be seen in "OK Jaanu", says he wants to experiment with various roles and even genres of films.

Aditya, who has mostly played a lover boy in movies like "Aashiqui 2", "Dawaat-e-ishq" and "Fitoor", told the media here: I would love to experiment with different genres of films. I know that right now I have the image of a romantic hero, but I want to do an action and comedy... I am open to it."

Talking about "OK Jaanu", in which he is paired with Shraddha Kapoor, Aditya said: "When it comes to 'Ok Jaanu', I think though I've played lover in my earlier films, none of them were a light-hearted romantic film like this. So I think people will get to see a different side."

Staring his career as a video jockey on a youth channel, Aditya made his debut in Bollywood with the multi-starrer "London Dreams" in 2009. He got his first big break as a lead actor in 2013 with "Aashiqui 2".

After a superhit film like "Aashiqui 2", the actor is coming up with only one film in a year. Why is he keeping a slow pace?

"I think I have to say yes to more scripts, maybe. I think I am too choosy about my scripts and always look for a perfect one."

Directed by Shaad Ali, "Ok Jaanu" will release on Friday.
