Mumbai – January 2 (ONLINE): Bollywood superstar Nawazuddin Siddiqui has shared his views on the difference between an actor and a hero. In a new interview, he has said that heroes last till their bodies do, while actors act for their entire lives.
According to Indian media, asked about the difference between an actor and a hero, Nawazuddin told Aaj Tak in an interview, “Ye koi bhi bata dega ki hero ka waqt hota hai, actor ka koi waqt nahi hota. Actor puri zindagi acting karta hai. Wo alag alag kirdaaron mein nazar aata hai (Anyone can tell you that heroes have a shelf life, not actors. Actors can act for their entire lives, he is seen in various characters).”
“Rahi baat hero ki, to jab tak uske dole-shole, pump-vump rehte hain, tab tak wo theek hai. Jaha pump ki hawa nikli, to wo gayab ho jata hai (As far as heroes are concerned, they are fine til their bodies look great. Once that goes, he disappears),” he added.
Earlier, Nawazuddin had also voiced his views on how films with a wider screen count end up as hits. “At the end of the day, your choices define you. Flops don’t matter, what matters is screen count. If someone monopolises 4500 screens and doesn’t allow any other film to run, then even a film about cats and dogs will make ?20-30 crores. This is a fact.
It is very important to understand that if a film is released in over 4500 screens – regardless of whose film it is – it will make 20-30-40 crore,” Nawazuddin had told an Indian media outlet in October last year.
