Farhan Akhtar to be the next bollywood super star.
Acting in 'Rock On' was fun for Farhan Akhtar, but now it seems to have
become a responsibility. The director-turned-actor says working in his sister's
directorial debut 'Luck By Chance' is an extra challenge and he has to ensure
its success.
To compound his woes, Farhan plays a struggling actor in 'Luck By Chance' "In
my first film, the unreleased 'Fakir', I played a member of a film unit. In
'Rock On!', I was a musician. Both were parts intrinsic to my personality. But
the struggler in 'Luck By Chance' is someone I've seen outside.
"Every day these hopefuls wait outside buildings, by your car, at the
foot of elevators and lifts, to get the attention of filmmakers. Every day they
are prepared to be snubbed and humiliated. I've seen these guys' humiliation
and desperation, but not experienced them first-hand. There's so much
desperation to portray without making the character look in-your-face
tragic."
