CASTING director Mukesh
Chhabra, who is often
dubbed as the kingmaker
in Hindi cinema, has shared valuable advice
for all aspiring actors.
He recently appeared on the chat show
Shekhar Tonite hosted by actor Shekhar
Suman, and said that actors should work
on their craft before heading to the
entertainment capital of the country. He said, “Until you feel you
are fully prepared, you shouldn’t
come to Bombay and try. You
should work on your craft.
Bombay doesn't teach you work,
it teaches you patience.
You
should know how to work, that's
why you came to Bombay. It's not
like, when Shekhar Suman came to Bombay,
he became talented, you were always talented. Bombay taught you patience, how
to work. If you get it, you have to do it
well. So, what they do is, when they
come to Bombay, they learn everything,
apart from patience and talent”.
He shared, “Apart from acting, they learn everything. And
I always say, if you are a good
actor, the producer will teach
you boxing. The doctors will
fix your skin.The hair stylist will
cut your hair. The designer will
craft your outfit”.
