RAJ KAPOOR IS MY ROLE MODEL-SANJAY KAPOOR

The well known cine artist Sanjay Kapoor said that the main purpose of making a film is to entertain the viewers by narrating a visually powerful story. He was addressing the students after formally inaugurating the 2004-05 session of ‘University of Media Arts’ Asian School of Media Studies’ at Noida. Answering questions put to him Sanjay Kapoor said that like for any other human endeavour proper education and systematic training is necessary for filmmaking. Defending the film professionals who may try to induct and promote their kith and kin into the film industry, he said that what really matters in the film industry are one’s own technical competence, hard work and talent and not a god father. Responding to a comment by a member of the audience about his role in his latest film Julie, Sanjay Kapoor said it is the effectiveness of a role rather than anything else what is of significance to an actor. He mentioned that he is currently playing a role in feature film Anjaane, Sanjay Kapoor disclosed he is seriously toying with the idea of producing a feature film himself. On this occasion, veteran journalist Dr. Aziz Burney, well known television producer A.S. Bedi and management guru Raj Diwan also shared their thoughts with the audience.
