Transcript
00:00 You became a director after playing Pujari for the first time.
00:02 Yeah.
00:03 Do you think it was a welcome addition to the actor inside you?
00:06 I wanted to.
00:07 When an actor becomes a big star, he gets lost.
00:10 He doesn't get good roles.
00:11 Other people catch him, push him from behind and make him a big star.
00:14 At that time, your growth is if you have the ability to write, direction,
00:18 if you have learned mechanics, you should switch over.
00:20 That's your prolongation of your own creative activity.
00:22 Otherwise, you stay for 15 years, you're done, new guys come, people forget.
00:26 They forget K.L. Sehgal, Preeti Raj, and the Prime Minister.
00:30 But you're doing some creative work.
00:32 A star is not creative, he's alive only by his acting.
00:35 A creative person is the one who wrote a role for a star,
00:37 who performed.
00:38 It's a great thing.
00:40 And the story is written by a novelist.
00:42 He gives thought to the world and the world follows his thought.
00:44 So I think every strong actor, when he becomes a very strong star,
00:47 his natural growth is to make his own pictures.
00:51 If he has the faculty, those who haven't, they retire as actors.
00:54 those have it, they outgrow their status.
