Bollywood's most talented
and popular actors were featured in News18's blockbuster event Showreel. Kartik
Aaryan was the first to attend the event where he talked about his films and
struggles in the industry. The film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 became a super hit at the
box office. He said at the event, “Whether it is my hits or failures,
everything is my decision. I am proud of my journey and my decisions. This year
has been a big game-changer for me. I just have to entertain the audience and
work now.” He also shared the fact that people wanted Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 to be
released on OTT but he didn't agree to it.
Talking about coming to
Mumbai to make his dream come true, Kartik said “My parents are doctors, their
dream was that I should also become a doctor or engineer. If I had told them
directly that I wanted to become an actor, my family would never have allowed
it. So, I found a way to travel to Mumbai on the pretext of an engineering
entrance exam. I used to go for auditions about 2 times a week. The first
audition was cracked after a year and a half. I remember I got a check for Rs
1500 after being successful in that audition.”
Next in the line was the
action star of Bollywood Vidyut Jammwal, who has made a place in the heart of
India through his martial arts prowess. Jammwal, who is known for his sculpted
physique, also talked about discipline with the people at the event. Sharing
about his childhood and learning the martial art of Kalaripayattu, Vidyut said,
“My father was in the army and if your parents do a government job then you
know that you get a chance to travel across the country. That is how I got to
know about Kalari and learned it. I have lived in Kerala and also in very small
places in the country.”
Bollywood actress Mrunal
Thakur also graced the event and shared stories about her journey saying, “I
used to bunk college and go for auditions. Due to this, attendance in the
college also decreased. Everyone has their own journey. I just want to say that
in the journey that I have been through, from Super 30 to Sita Ramam, I am very
proud of it.”
Darlings fame actor Vijay
Verma engaged in a candid chat and shared, “The plan I had made to run away
from home, and I made the best plan for it. I confirmed the seat in the film
school, arranged the fees, and arranged the expenses for the month. After that,
I took my mother's permission and ran away without informing my father.”
Actress Vaani Kapoor too
shared her experience of appearing for her first audition for her first film
Shuddh Desi Romance. Remembering her first encounter with Shanoo Sharma for an
audition, Vaani said, “She made me dance for 2 hours and I do not know why.
There was also a time when she used to call me to the salon where she was
getting pedicures done. Then she would tell me, ‘Let's say the line, let's
act.’ I understood that she is trying to open me up to the people. she wanted
to ease my hesitation, as I am an introvert by nature.”
Kajol and Revathy also
attended the News18 Showreel conclave where they both shared their experience
of working together for their upcoming film Salaam Venky. When asked about the
star cast of the film, Kajol said “After 30 years I am working with Kamal
Sadanah in a movie. I started my career with him in my debut film Bekhudi and
it was a surprise for me that he was my co-actor in this film.” Revathy praised
Kajol for her exceptional talent and said, “Kajol tells a lot with her eyes,
she is very expressive.”
Popular actress Yami
Gautam too shared moments from the initial days of her career and said, “I used
to get nervous and scared about media interactions. I used to say in my mind,
“Please ask questions to my co-actors and not me.”
Prominent actor Ayushmann
Khurrana also shared anecdotes from his journey and said, “The movies I have
done so far are on such topics that no one has ever touched. For me,
entertainment is the number one priority. We can spread our message through
entertainment.” When asked about working on international projects, Ayushmann
said “I want to explore all the aspects of Indian cinema first. If anything
beyond a stereotypical role for an Indian in an international film comes, only
then I would love to do it.”
