Shiv Pandit: It is important to do commercial films

Shiv Pandit says he became choosy after Shaitan

Highlights

  • Actor Shiv Pandit, who turned to films with Shaitan after doing a successful TV show like F.I.R., says he became choosy after his first movie as he wanted to do a commercial film to reach a larger audience.
  • He will soon be seen in the Boss commercial masala entertainer.
  • "Post Shaitan, I became a little choosy. Very few people must have watched Shaitan, but what happens with a film like Boss, especially for a young actor like me. I need to balance between commercial films and high-concept films," Shiv said here on Thursday while promoting the film at a college.
  • Shiv believes it is only when you do a typical Bollywood potboiler that a larger audience opens up to an actor's work. "It is important to do commercial films because otherwise however hard you work, it's of no use. Boss is a kind of film which gives actors like me an opportunity to show their work to the public. After that, I can also do a high-concept film, that's not a problem," he said.
  • Directed by Anthony D'Souza, Boss stars Akshay Kumar in the lead, while Aditi Rao Hydari plays Shiv's love interest. The film hits theatres on October 16.
