I’ll never act in my films: Sajid Khan
April 27th, 2010 - 10:15 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, April 27 (IANS) Bollywood presenter-turned-director Sajid Khan feels he is not a good actor and will never face the camera in his own film unlike Subhash Ghai, Aamir Khan or Anurag Kashyap.”I don’t think I’m a good actor… hats off to people who can write their own film, direct it, act in it and then the film also comes out a hit. When I start working on my film, I get into it,” said Sajid.
“My weight starts increasing, I smoke a lot and I say no to all other projects because I just don’t direct a film, I make a film. So, for that matter probably I’ll never act in my own film,” added the 38-year-old.
Sajid debuted as a director with a story in Ram Goapl Varma’s anthology “Darna Zaroori Hai” (2006) before graduating to his first full-fledged outing “Heyy Babyy” in 2007.
He was here at the DT Cinemas, DLF Promenade Tuesday evening to promote his latest directorial venture “Housefull” - releasing Friday. Also present with him was the star cast of the movie including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Arjun Rampal, Deepika Padukone and Jiah Khan.
Lara Dutta who also plays a pivotal role in the movie did not make it to the event. The movie has been produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.
