frontline Tushar Jalota
Debutant actor Tushar Jalota would have never thought in his wildest dreams to come in front of the camera. But destiny had it otherwise. Having assisted the Bhatts in films like “Saaya”, “Murder”, “Zeher” and R
20;Kalyug”, it came as a shock when Mahesh Bhatt suggested that Tushar play the lead in the camp’s next film, “Showbiz”.
“We were working on the post production of ‘Kalyug’, when Mahesh Bhatt came up to me and said I should try my hand at acting. Since acting was never on my radar, I was very unsure about the offer. But then everyone convinced me. The script also needed a fresh face, as a winner of a reality show who has never been in the limelight before,” explains the 24-year-old.
“You like me in the film or not, whichever way the credit or the blame goes to Bhatt sir,” he quips. Tushar joined Anupam Kher’s acting school to learn the art. “Frankly, I don’t think anyone can teach you how to act, as every person has a different way of expressing emotions. But such schools do help you in getting rid of inhibitions,” says the Mumbai born-bred.
Despite the film’s fate, Tushar is sure he is not going behind the camera again. “I have moved on in life. Now that I have discovered my real interest, I will stick to acting.” The film is very close to his heart as he has been involved with the film right from the initial scripting to casting till post production.
But that also meant no time to look out for new offers. “I just didn’t find time to breathe all this while. I did get a few calls from people who wanted me to read their scripts. I will do that soon,” he sums up.
