Rishi
Kapoor
says
the
fact
that
aspiring
actors
are
more
focused
on
gymming
than
the
craft,
makes
him
feel
disheartened.
The
65-year-old
veteran
actor,
however,
said
he
is
in
favour
of
joining
film
schools
or
getting
trained
on
the
sets,
as
he
believes
an
actor
can
do
well
by
"observing" their
seniors.
"I
am
observing
that
to
become
an
actor,
people
say,
they
want
to
join
gym.
Why
join
a
gym?
Why
don't
you
join
an
institute
where
they
teach
you
how
to
act?
You
must
work
with
a
good
director
and
work
in
a
film
where
you
have
good
actors,
so
you
should
observe
the
actor
and
understand
things," Rishi
told
PTI.
Citing
example
of
his
son,
Ranbir,
who
worked
as
anassistant
director
on
Sanjay
Leela
Bhasali's
"Black"
before
making
his
acting
debut
with
"Saawariya",
theactor
said,
"Observation
is
a
big
tool
for
any
actor.
You
observe
and
you
bank
it
in
your
mind.
I
don't
know
why
all
these
actors
think
going
to
a
gym
or
riding
horses
or
learning
how
to
fight
are
the
steps
to
becoming
an
actor.
It
is
absolutely
bulls***
and
nonsense."
He
added
that
Bachchan,
who
earned
the
sobriquet
of
'Angry
Young
Man' in
the
early
'80s,
"never
had
the
body,
he
never
had
the
muscles",
and
yet
went
on
to
become
one
of
the
biggest
action
stars
of
Hindi
cinema
through
hard
work
and
dedication.
"There
is
no
technique
(to
my
acting).
I
am
a
natural
actor.
I
try
to
keep
it
spontaneous
as
far
as
possible.
That
is
my
mantra,"
he
added.
When
Rishi
made
his
debut
with
"Bobby" in
1973,
he
was
immediately
slotted
in
the
"lover
boy"
category.
The
actor,
however,
said
being
"jacketed
into
an
image"
worked
as
a
disadvantage
for
him.
"My
image
was
that
of
a
romantic,
soft
hero.
It
worked
as
a
disadvantage
for
me
at
a
time
when
action
heroes
were
more
successful.
But
there's
one
thing,
non-actors
will
not
survive.
They
will
have
to
be
good
with
their
craft
and
skills," he
said.
Also
featuring
Amitabh
Bachchan,
"102
Not
Out"
is
set
to
hit
the
theatres
on
May
4.
The
film
is
directed
by
Umesh
Shukla.
