Kunal
Kapoor,
who
turned
44
today
(October
18),
opened
up
about
his
acting
journey.
The
actor
said
that
while
today
artists
have
many
platforms
to
explore,
a
couple
of
years
ago
it
was
tough
to
especially
if
you
were
an
outsider.
Talking
about
his
debut
with
the
2004
release,
Meenaxi-
A
Tale
of
Three
Cities,
Kunal
said
that
at
the
time,
a
lot
of
people
told
him
not
to
become
an
actor
because
'it
is
very
difficult
for
outsiders
to
breakthrough".
However,
he
got
a
lot
of
fame
after
doing
Rang
De
Basanti
in
2006
still
his
struggling
days
were
not
far
behind.
"Then
they
(filmmakers)
said,
'He
has
disappeared,
he
is
finished'.
And
now,
I
have
a
lot
of
filmmakers
calling
me
and
saying
'You
are
such
an
interesting
actor,
we
would
like
to
do
more
stuff
with
you'.
That
is
a
full-cycle
you
go
through
as
an
actor," he
was
quoted
by
Hindustan
Times.
Calling
the
industry
unstable,
where
perception
changes
quickly,
Kunal
said
several
filmmakers
who
didn't
think
he
was
the
right
actor
for
the
part
they
were
writing
have
called
him
back
and
asked,
"'Would
you
be
interested
in
hearing
the
part'
It
does
change
very
rapidly."
He
also
praised
OTT
platforms
for
changing
the
status
quo.
The
Empire
actor
said,
"In
case,
you
don't
find
the
films
you
are
looking
for,
there
are
incredible
shows
that
you
can
do.
You
can
be
a
part
of
films
on
these
platforms.
This
is
the
best
time
for
outsiders
to
be
actors.
Nobody
on
OTT
is
thinking
of
what
the
market
is."
Kunal
was
last
seen
in
the
Disney
Plus
Hotstar
series
The
Empire.
He
garnered
a
lot
of
praise
from
fans
and
critics
alike
for
the
role
of
Babur,
son
of
Umar
Sheikh
Mirza.
Kunal
Kapoor
is
yet
to
announce
his
upcoming
films.
