New Delhi, Aug 27 : Model-turned-actor Navneet Malik has opened up on what he dislikes about the showbiz, saying there should be a system where artistes with potential can reach out to the casting directors, and vice-versa.
Navneet will be soon seen playing the negative lead in the thriller series ‘The Freelancer’.
Speaking to IANS, the actor who is known for his role in ‘Heropanti 2’, said: “What I like about this industry right now is people are not bounding any actor into certain roles, whether it’s positive or negative.They accept them in different roles and characters.That’s the good part of this industry.”
He further shared: “I dislike that whatever roles that are coming in the industry are not reaching to the potential people, like there are thousands of deserving and experienced people.”
“So, there should be some system where people can reach out to casting directors, and casting directors should reach out to actors, whether they are in Mumbai or they are living somewhere else, there should be some system.So, this is where we are lacking right now,” he said.
Navneet has faced his fair share of setbacks despite his talent and successful appearances in projects like ‘Heropanti 2’, ‘Love Hostel,’ and the song ‘Jaaniya’ with over five million views.However, his spirit remains unbroken despite the challenges.
He added that he is more inclined towards action and romantic films.
