I'm true propagandist of new talent: Arbaaz Khan
Mumbai
Mar 01, 2017
Bollywood actor-filmmaker Arbaaz Khan said he is all for celebrating
new talent in the movie industry.
Arbaaz, who has produced three films under his Arbaaz Khan
Productions banner, gave a break to directors like Abhinav Kashyap and Abhishek
Dogra and even singer Mamta Sharma.
'I am a true propagandist of new talent. From my first
ever-produced film, I worked with new talent because I not only enjoy working
with them, but they bring a certain new perspective on table and that is very
important for me,' Arbaaz told IANS here.
'Since I come from a film background, it helps me to make
an assessment of a story and especially when it's pitched for direction or production,'
added the son of veteran writer Salim Khan.
Arbaaz is playing a pivotal role in Keshhav Panneriy's directorial
venture 'Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai'. He believes that in the creative
business, instinct and gut feeling are important in decision making.
'It is important to have the confidence from the beginning
on how the production house is mounting the film and how the director is planning
to treat the story. Though there is no specific formula, the conviction should
reflect.
'When Keshav came to me with the film, I not only looked
at my character, but his conviction towards the film. So, I am pretty hopeful
about the film,' he said.
Starting his career in Bollywood with Abbas-Mustan's directorial
venture 'Daraar', Arbaaz acted in various multi-starrer films like
'Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya', 'Hello Brother', 'Garv:
Pride and Honour', 'Malamaal Weekly', 'Dus Kahaniyaan'
and 'Fashion', before debuting as a producer in 2010 with 'Dabangg'.
'Dabangg' not only turned out to be one of the most
commercially successful films of that year, Arbaaz received a National Film
Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment.
So, does being an actor help Arbaaz to understand the psyche
of an actor when he wears a filmmaker's cap?
'Yes, that's true. I understand what it takes to bring
your frame of mind in a state to perform in front of the camera. Therefore,
as a director and producer, I always take care of my cast and crew. I keep my
actors in a conducive state of mind so that they can feel comfortable to perform,'
he shared.
The film 'Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai', also featuring
Ashutosh Rana, Himansh Kohli, Supriya Pathak, Manjari Fadnis, Rati Agnihotri
and Prem Chopra, will release on March 3.
