What do you think are the challenges being faced by Producers and actor?
Challenge in the industry
was how to market your movie and make your money back but now things are
changing with the coming of cinema and online platforms it is quite encouraging. The challenges of the actor also boils down to marketing because
where the producer is not able to get his returns on investment he may not be
able to pay the actors but things are getting better. The industry is still
growing and growing fast, we are going worldwide now. At times you may even
shoot a movie and make money from other countries, so things are getting better
now.

Being experienced in the industry, what do you think are the
qualities of a good actor?
Interpretation comes first. If you cannot
interpret a role definitely you are not
an actor. Professionalism, Be humble and down to earth,
be there. Do your work and finish it. Be answerable to your Director and Producer until the job is complete.
