Don't Enter Bollywood, Says Bollywood Photographer Camaal Mustafa Sikander

Here is a message to all Bollywood aspirants from Bollywood Photographer : Camaal Mustafa Sikander


OK, tell me frankly, how many Bollywood Stars can you count on your fingers ? 10 ? 20 ? 30 ?

It will be easy to name the first ten Bollywood Stars, little difficult to name the next ten and only a very die-hard Bollywood fan would be able to name twenty and above. It won’t take a Scientific calculator for you to evaluate your chance among 1.27 billion people in India.

In spite of losing a prospective client, the very first question that I ask to anybody who approaches me to do their BOLLYWOOD PORTFOLIO is whether his or her family is dependent on their income. If the answer is yes, then I advise them not to enter Bollywood.

Apart from talent, passion & dedication, you will also need time & money to come & try your luck in Bollywood. If you don't have theater experience, then you will need about two years and approx. 2-3 lacs INR to learn all the skills that you will need in Bollywood and about 4-5 lacs to take care of your expenses for about 2 yrs.

After that will start the Audition rounds where you will compete with hundreds of other aspirants like you. If you don't have enough buffer stock of money to sustain yourself in Mumbai, you might get involved in a vicious circle here, to use a crude analogy, Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke.

So just don't get carried away by the glamour, but take a informed decision to enter Bollywood!

Do share it with your friends who may be contemplating a career in Bollywood.
