Anil Kapoor: Comedy Is Always Difficult To Create!
Anil Kapoor revealed that comedy is always difficult to create as it needs perfect timing and a great sense of humour to understand the situation which is being shot.
For
Anil
Kapoor,
acting
is
all
about
being
able
to
connect
with
his
audiences
and
the
actor
feels
fortunate
that
in
his
career,
which
spans
over
35
years,
he
was
offered
scripts
that
enabled
him
to
do
that.
Decoding
his
journey
in
Bollywood,
which
started
in
1971
when
he
played
the
role
of
a
young
Shashi
Kapoor
in
Tu
Payal
Mein
Geet,
Kapoor
believes
it
is
a
combination
of
things
that
have
worked
in
his
favour
till
now,
from
good
scripts
to
the
respect
he
has
earned
from
his
peers
and
fans.
"Whatever
planning
and
strategy
you
do,
one
would
never
know
what
will
come
your
way.
Because
people
are
offering
me
different
scripts,
I
am
in
a
better
position
to
chose
and
do
what
is
right
for
me.
There
are
lot
of
actors
who
are
not
offered
those
kind
of
films.
I
am
very
fortunate
that
all
kinds
of
films
are
offered
to
me
from
mainstream
to
emotional
to
action
films," the
actor
told
PTI.
The
actor
says
he
judges
his
work
on
the
parameter
of
whether
it
has
been
successful
in
entertaining
the
audiences.
"I
do
films
with
the
sole
purpose
of
entertaining
people.
I
am
an
entertainer,
I
like
to
make
people
laugh,
cry,
angry
and
connect
with
them.
For
me,
doing
drama,
horror
or
patriotic
film,
making
people
cry
is
also
entertainment.
"I
like
to
engage
audience.
I
don't
want
to
bore
the
audience.
If
it
connects
with
people,
I
feel
happy
and
if
it
doesn't,
I
get
sad
too,"
Kapoor
says.
Kapoor
insists
that
he
still
feels
fresh
like
a
newcomer
when
he
goes
to
a
film's
set.
"Every
decade
you
have
to
change
your
decisions.
Now
every
year
you
have
to
do
it.
I
try
to
keep
changing
with
time.
Decisions
like
what
kind
of
films
you
should
do,
the
filmmakers
you
want
to
work
with.
For
me,
it
is
a
learning
experience."
"I
experiment
and
do
out-of-the-box
films.
I
try
to
do
mix
bag
of
things.
I
have
to
like
story
and
the
people
working
on
it," he
adds.
His
most
recent
release,
Ek
Ladki
Ko
Dekha
Toh
Aisa
Laga,
about
same-sex
relationship,
has
been
getting
rave
reviews
from
both
the
critics
and
the
audiences.
Kapoor
is
now
promoting
his
upcoming
film
Total
Dhamaal.
His
slate
for
the
year
is
full
as
the
actor
will
soon
start
shooting
for
Anees
Bazmee's
"Pagalpanti"
in
London.
He
also
has
Karan
Johar's
Takht
and
a
biopic
on
Olympian
Abhinav
Bindra
with
his
son
Harsvardhan
Kapoor.
"I
have
never
taken
my
work
lightly.
I
am
happily
busy.
Other
than
acting
in
films,
I
do
take
out
time
for
my
family,
friends
and
workouts.
But
acting
will
always
be
my
first
passion.
I
feel
honesty
and
sincerity
does
finds
it's
place
somewhere." Having
tried
his
hands
at
almost
all
genres
in
his
career,
the
62-year-old
actor
says
he
knows
the
trick
of
preparing
for
a
role.
"For
certain
films
you
have
to
be
spontaneous
and
instinctive
and
for
some
you
have
to
do
quite
a
bit
of
prep
work.
I
am
playing
a
Gujarati
in
'Total
Dhamaal'
so
I
had
a
dialect
coach,
he
helped
me.
For
every
film
it
is
different."
Total
Dhamaal,
the
third
instalment
in
the
hit
comedy
franchise
Dhamaal,
reunites
the
actor
with
his
90s
co-star
Madhuri
Dixit
Nene
and
he
is
happy
to
be
once
again
paired
opposite
her.
The
film
releases
on
February
22.
"Not
everybody
can
do
comedy.
You
need
certain
kind
of
understanding,
sensibility
to
do
these
kind
of
films.
It
requires
lot
of
effort,
it
doesn't
happen
overnight.
People
think
we
go
on
the
sets
and
comedy
films
just
happen
like
that.
Comedy
is
always
difficult
to
create," Kapoor
says.
