Actor Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub has found his niche as a “best-friend” to heroes in Bollywood films, but he certainly has more to offer.
The Zero actor has recently been seen in Article 15 alongside actor Ayushmann Khurrana, Zeeshan opened about the quality of work in the Indian film industry. In an interview, he said,
“Firstly, not a lot of interesting projects are being made at the moment. So, I think it’s better to give myself some time. I plan to revive my theatre, it’s been two years now. Life achi bitana is the target, naa ki rat race mei ghusna hai”
Speaking of professional standards and norms followed in the industry, he expressed his concerns about filmmakers who make false promises, claiming to give “special mention” to actors in the “credits.”
He further elaborated on his choices for films and roles,
“Though I choose films in which I have a character that is substantial and creates an impact on the main narrative, most of the time our characters get chopped in the middle of shooting. That is why there are times when our on-screen characters look like props. So when people said that the scenario is changing (for actors like me), at times I question, ‘Are they, really?’… I get less author-backed roles.”
Zeeshan is a trained theatr actor from the National School of Drama, Delhi. He moved to Mumbai few years ago to pursue his dreams on acting in cinema.
He will be seen next in director Hansal Mehta’s Turram Khan¸ a social comedy co-starring actors Rajkummar Rao and Nushrat Bharucha.
