Ajay Devgn feels aspiring actors should not run behind stardom

Ajay Devgn opines that aspiring actors should not be worried about stardom but they should be passionate about the content.

“Whenever we go to small towns and interact with people they say they have wished to act since childhood and ask how one can go about it. But I question them, ‘Do you want to be a star or an actor?’

“Some say they want to be star and I feel they can’t do anything. If you are interested in acting, you’ve to learn it. Only then you will become a star,” Ajay said.

The actor was speaking on the sidelines of launch of Tata Sky’s ‘Acting Adda’. ‘Adda’ an initiative by actor Suniel Shetty and casting director Mukesh Chhabra.

Ajay feels there is no platform for the aspiring actors to showcase their talent and believes that this initiative will give them a stage.

Suniel said that many people enter industry with big dreams. But many a times they have to quit as they have no opportunities available to them.

“There is no money required to be in this profession.  It is hard work but the only thing which is required here is talent... There are so many who want to learn acting but very few to teach them,” he said.

Chhabra said through the platform they can provide new talent to the industry.

“We will search for new actors through this platform and bring them to the industry. Every director today wants new actors so through this platform we will groom new talent and give them more work,” he said.
