Director and actor Tharun Bhascker has taken an interesting decision about his acting career. He became popular among Telugu audiences with films like Pelli Choopulu and Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi. Both movies received a good response. Later, Tharun started handling both acting and direction. However, he now seems to be planning to focus more on his own films.
In a recent interview, Tharun Bhascker spoke about the difficulties of acting in other directors' films. He explained that acting takes up a lot of time, even when an actor has only a few days of shooting. He said that actual shooting schedule is not the only commitment. There is also preparation before the shoot and promotional work after the film is completed.
Tharun explained his decision, saying, "Acting in other films takes up a lot of my time. Even if they ask me for just 20 days of dates, there is work before the shoot and promotions after the shoot. The entire process takes a lot of time. It will not be 20 or 30 days but being that"
He further explained that he wants to be selfish about his time and concentrate on his own projects. Speaking about his preference, he said, "I think I should be selfish and focus only on my films. Instead of adding other people's films to my schedule, I want to spend that time writing and directing my own movies. I enjoy creating characters and acting in the films I direct."
Telugu audiences are now interested in seeing what kind of stories he will bring to the screen next.
