Mumbai, July 4
Although his contemporaries are still active in films, veteran
actor Prakash Jha is not in a mood to act any time
soon.
Jeetendra was last seen in a full-fledged role in
"Kucch To Hai" (2003) and made a special appearance in a song in "Om
Shanti Om" (2007).
"When I feel like acting again, I'll
definitely do a film. Right now I'm just not in the mood," the
69-year-old thespian told IANS in an interview.
When quizzed
about his contemporary Amitabh Bachchan's age-defying role in
"Buddah...Hoga Terra Baap", the actor said: "I've not seen the film,
I want to and have made a plan with my friends."
So would he
like to do a colourful and flamboyant role like that?
"That I
can't say right now. For that I need to first see the film, only
then can I decide whether I would do a role like that or not,"
explained Jeetendra, who will be seen on the small screen as a
special guest on reality show "X Factor India". |

"X Factor India" is the Indian version of "The X Factor", a show
originating from the United Kingdom. It is a musical talent hunt
show contested by aspiring singers, drawn from public auditions from
all across India.
Talking about his experience on the musical
show airing on Sony Entertainment Television, Jeetendra said: "I
used to watch this show and I like it. Then my daughter told me that
I was called on the show and I was very happy and glad to do this,
and today when I came here I had the time of my life sitting with
such talented people."
Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Shreya Ghoshal
and Sonu Niigaam are the judges on "X Factor India" and Jeetendra
was all praise for their discoveries. "These kids are so good,
such great singers and performers. Our country has so much talent.
Earlier there weren't many platforms where you could tap talent but
today these reality shows bring out such great people. I'm so
proud," he added.
In the past, Jeetendra has judged dance
reality show "Jhalak Dikhla Jaa" and also "Dancing Queen" alongside
Hema
Malini.
