Punjabi actor-singer Jassi Gill, who made his Bollywood debut with Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi, says Hindi cinema believes in giving opportunities to talented artistes.
Punjabi
actor-singer
Jassi
Gill,
who
made
his
Bollywood
debut
with
Happy
Phirr
Bhag
Jayegi,
says
Hindi
cinema
believes
in
giving
opportunities
to
talented
artistes.
"Here
in
Bollywood
talented
actors
are
welcomed
with
open
arms,
they
are
given
opportunities
and
are
respected.
The
success
and
failure
of
a
film
is
not
everything,
it
is
all
about
talent
here," Jassi
told
PTI.
"I
get
to
play
different
kind
of
roles
here
as
I
do
not
have
a
set
appearance," added
the
actor,
who
does
not
sport
a
turban.
Punjabi
film
industry,
according
to
Jassi,
is
at
a
nascent
stage
and
unlike
Bollywood,
it
does
not
have
well-established
production
houses.
"There
is
talent
over
there.
Though
they
are
trying
out
new
concepts
but
that
is
done
with
limited
budget.
Here,
in
Bollywood,
there
are
big
production
houses
and
producers."
"Also,
Bollywood
pays
more
money
to
actors
than
Punjabi
cinema.
The
budget
is
not
that
much
over
there,
so
how
will
they
pay
more
to
actors,"
the
actor
said.
With
artistes
and
film-makers
working
in
different
film
industries,
Jassi
believes
it
is
a
healthy
sign
for
Indian
cinema
as
the
lines
are
blurring.
"Cinema
will
only
grow.
With
this
one
can
reach
out
to
more
audience.
And
as
an
actor
you
can
explore
and
challenge
yourself
and
at
the
same
time
show
your
talent
to
other
industry
people,"
he
added.
Jassi,
who
is
currently
working
on
Kangana
Ranaut-starrer
Panga,
is
grateful
to
Bollywood
film-makers
for
giving
him
opportunity
to
play
different
characters.
"It
is
not
easy
to
get
everything
at
the
beginning.
I
have
confidence
in
my
ability
as
an
artiste.
I
know
I
will
have
to
prove
myself
as
an
actor
and
I
am
ready
for
all
the
hard
work."
In
Panga,
being
directed
by
Ashwiny
Iyer
Tiwari,
Jassi
plays
the
role
of
a
supportive
husband
to
Kangana's
character,
a
kabbaddi
player.
"Kangana
and
I
share
good
bonding
today.
I
am
learning
a
lot
working
with
her.
I
am
glad
to
be
working
with
Ashwiny
and
Kangana,"
he
said.
According
to
Jassi,
about
20-25
percent
of
shoot
is
over
and
the
next
schedule
will
be
in
Delhi
and
Kolkata.
