'I dont think acting is for me': Kayoze Irani on his return to big screens, direction, Sarzameen experience
New Delhi [India], July 29 (ANI): Kayoze Irani, who is popularly known for his role of Kaizad Sudo Sodabottleopenerwala in the superhit film 'Student of the Year', admitted that "acting" is not made for him. After a brief stint as an actor in the Bollywood industry, Kayoze switched to filmmaking with the anthology series 'Ajeeb Daastaans' on Netflix in 2021. He directed the segment titled 'Ankahi', which starred Shefali Shah in the lead role. After gaining experience in filmmaking by serving as an assistant director in Kartik Aaryan's 'Dhamaka', Kayoze decided to put his directorial skills to the test with the recently released movie 'Sarzameen'. It stars Kajol, Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan in the lead roles. It is jointly produced by Karan Johar, Hiroo Yash Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Adar Poonawalla under the banner of Dharma Productions. While Kayoze is quite busy with his directorial projects, many fans wonder about his return to acting after his show-stealing debut performance in 'Student of the Year'. While talking to ANI, Kayoze admitted that he has no plans of returning to acting, disappointing his fans who were long waiting for his return. Kayoze said that he is more "comfortable" behind the camera and acting is not made for him. "I don't think you can see me acting again, because I enjoy filmmaking and it's what I have always wanted to do. I am comfortable behind the camera, and that is my intention. So sorry to disappoint, but I don't think acting is for me," said Kayoze Irani. Apart from his role in Karan Johar's 'Student of the Year', Kayoze has also starred in films including 'Youngistaan' and 'The Legend of Michael Mishra'. Kayoze Irani also shared his experience of working with stars, including Kajol and Prithiviraj Sukumaran in his debut movie directorial 'Sarzameen'. He called it a "humbling experience", saying that he never felt like a debutant among the two veterans. "As a debut director, the two of them (Prithviraj and Kajol) never let me feel that I am a debut director because they are both veterans. So when they were with me on set, they would always give me that respect. They would always take my opinion. Always listen and make me feel like I am part of them. I could stand with them and talk to them. So it is a genuinely humbling experience," said Kayoze Irani. Kayoze's latest directorial, 'Sarzameen', is currently streaming on Disney Hotstar. (ANI)

This film, which was released in 1965, would have made Dharmendra superstar before Sholay, made on budget of Rs 70 Lakh, earned Rs 6 crore, movie name is…
It's true that Hindi cinema currently showcases only a handful of quality films, but there was an era when it produced numerous hits and cult classics. Today, we want to take you back to a Bollywood film that pioneered the trend of multi-starrer productions in Hindi cinema. Moreover, the film's success can be attributed to its compelling narrative, outstanding performances, and enchanting music. It received immense praise from both audiences and critics alike and if a rising star had signed that film, then his career would've been on the other dimension. Which film is this? The film we are talking about is 'Waqt', released in 1965, which was a huge success at the box office and was declared an all-time blockbuster. Directed by legendary director Late Yash Chopra, the film had a budget of Rs 70 lakh, but it earned Rs 6 crore at the box office, which was a huge record at that time. The film was one of the highest-grossing films of its time. What was the storyline? Waqt was a family drama starring big stars like Late Raaj Kumar, Late Sunil Dutt, Late Shashi Kapoor, Sadhana and Sharmila Tagore. The story revolves around a business family that is torn apart by an earthquake. The story beautifully portrays emotions, relationships and the importance of time. The songs of the film, such as 'Aye meri zohra jabeen' and 'Aage bhi jaane na tu', are still etched in people's hearts. The duo of music director Ravi and lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi created magic in it. Why Dharmendra rejected Waqt? Before Raaj Kumar, Dharmendra was the first choice of the makers for the film Waqt, but Dharmendra refused to play the role of the elder brother in the film. Due to this the makers proceeded further while casting Raaj Kumar with other ensemble actors while making it a first multi-starrer film in the history of Indian Cinema. On the other hand, Dharmendra lost the opportunity and after 10 years with Sholay he became an overnight superstar. More about Waqt Waqt also received many awards, including Best Supporting Actor and Best Story at the Filmfare Awards. This film won 6 awards at Filmfare. This film is still a great example of classic cinema and is loved by audiences of every generation. This film brought acclaim to Raaj Kumar, who turned into a star with this film after many years of doing second leads. Similarly, Yash Chopra proved his capabilities as a director with the huge box office success of Waqt and went on to become one of the greatest Indian filmmakers of all time.
