Summary:
Mumbai, Oct 17 (PTI) Actor Akhil Akkineni says his journey of more than half a decade in the industry has taught him that he should not look for conventionally "safe" movies as they will never give him creative satisfaction.The actor made his debut with the 2015 Telugu actioner "Akhil" and went on to feature in films like "Hello" and the 2019 romantic comedy "Mr Majnu".In an interview with PTI, the 27-year-old actor said the industry has made him realise the importance of breaking a formulaic pattern to achieve greater success."Everything takes time.
You can"t take things for granted.
You need to be strong and clear with the work you want to do.
I need to be clear what sort of an actor I want to be.
I can"t take up projects just because I think they are safe."I cannot look for safety, I must look for honesty in my work, to believe in what I am doing.
That is the only way the magic will translate on screen," Akhil said.The actor said it is not difficult to find interesting films today but one must "wholeheartedly" be on the lookout for challenging parts.It is not necessary that braver roles will be offered only in "off beat" films, Akhil said, as actors can be inventive even within the frameworks of a commercial cinema."It doesn"t have to be an extremely intense, off-beat character.
