For Anil Kapoor, acting is all about being able to connect with his audiences and the actor feels fortunate that in his career, which spans over 35 years, he was offered scripts that enabled him to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Decoding his journey in Bollywood, which started in 1971 when he played the role of a young Shashi Kapoor in “Tu Payal Mein Geet”, Kapoor believes it is a combination of things that have worked in his favour till now from good scripts to the respect he has earned from his peers and fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Whatever planning and strategy you do, one would never know what will come your way. Because people are offering me different scripts, I am in a better position to chose and do what is right for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Every decade you have to change your decisions. Now every year you have to do it. I try to keep changing with time. Decisions like what kind of films you should do, the filmmakers you want to work with. For me, it is a learning experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His slate for the year is full as the actor will soon start shooting for Anees Bazmee’s “Pagalpanti” in London. He also has Karan Johar’s “Takht” and a biopic on Olympian Abhinav Bindra with his son Harsvardhan Kapoor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI do films with the sole purpose of entertaining people. I am an entertainer, I like to make people laugh, cry, angry and connect with them. For me, doing drama, horror or patriotic film, making people cry is also entertainment.\u201d”I like to engage audience. I don’t want to bore the audience. If it connects with people, I feel happy and if it doesn’t, I get sad too,” Kapoor says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I have never taken my work lightly. I am happily busy. Other than acting in films, I do take out time for my family, friends and workouts. But acting will always be my first passion. I feel honesty and sincerity does finds its place somewhere.”Having tried his hands at almost all genres in his career, the 62-year-old actor says he knows the trick of preparing for a role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“For certain films you have to be spontaneous and instinctive and for some you have to do quite a bit of prep work. I am playing a Gujarati in ‘Total Dhamaal’ so I had a dialect coach, he helped me. For every film it is different.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
