Sharad Kelkar: I don’t think that in every film that you do, you have to be the hero
Sharad Kelkar has done some amazing shows and also acted in several Bollywood films. The actor revealed in an interview that he wants to take it slow while signing up films.
Sharad Kelkar is one of the handsome and talented actors in the Television industry. Along with working in shows, Sharad has also played vital roles in several Bollywood films such as Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela, Mohenjo Daro, Bhoomi and Baadshaho.
In an interview with a leading daily, the actor said that he wants to go slow with doing films and won't sign films for the heck of it. He said, "I am happy with the way things have shaped up. I always wanted to go slow and was never in a rush. I have seen people from TV just jumping for a film — not seeing what the film is exactly. They think ‘I am getting the lead role and I am playing the hero’ and then the percentage of failure is much higher than success for such films."
"I don’t want to just work around. I want to choose films that I really want to do. And that approach has helped me a lot. I don’t think that in every film that you do, you have to be the hero and then whether the film is releasing or not, you are not bothered. So, I go a little slow, as I want to stay there," added the actor.
He also said that actors Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Irrfan Khan's work has inspired him and he wants to go in their order in his career. Sharad states, "I have seen actors like Nawazuddin [Siddiqui] and Irrfan playing a hero at the age of 44, and they, too, have worked in TV. But patience and the kind of work they chose made them a hero and gradually a star now. So, I want to go in that order."
The actor also said that his Bollywood journey has been pretty smooth and he was never treated like an outsider in the film industry. "Touchwood, the industry has welcomed me very nicely and my journey has been pretty smooth. All my co-stars have been very sweet and I think it’s because of my karma that not for once I was treated like an outsider in this industry. Be it John Abraham, Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn or anyone else, they all have been really supporting, and I share a great chemistry with them," said the actor.
