DJ
Nikhil
Chinapa
has
an
immense
fan
following
amongst
youth.
Many
youngsters
have
grown
up
being
influenced
by
him
and
often
consider
him
as
an
inspiration.
As
we
all
know,
he
is
very
passionate
about
music,
but
not
so
many
people
know
that
he
also
tried
his
luck
in
acting.
He
was
featured
in
the
2011
film,
Shaitaan,
directed
by
Bejoy
Nambiar.
Sadly,
after
featuring
in
such
a
popular
film,
he
didn't
take
up
acting
seriously.
When
asked
about
his
decision
not
to
continue
his
acting
career,
Nikhil
Chinapa
told
Hindustan
Times
that
he
is
more
passionate
about
music
than
acting.
The
Roadies
Revolution
gang
leader
said,
"If
I
wanted
things
to
be
different,
I
should
have
worked
differently.
If
I
wanted
to
act,
I
should
have
respected
the
craft
of
acting,
done
workshops
and
understood
the
nuances
of
becoming
an
actor.
If
I
haven't
done
that,
I
don't
deserve
to
be
an
actor."
While
expressing
his
love
for
music,
the
49-year-old
Nikhil
said
that
he
loves
to
talk
about
music,
bands
and
philosophy.
He
feels
there
is
not
a
lot
of
showmanship
in
what
he
has
as
an
individual.
"I
have
been
happy
with
the
work
I
have
done
than
the
watches,
sneakers
and
marketability
of
Nikhil
that
I
could
have
done," he
added.
