Recently, he shared insights about working with many now-famous filmmakers and actors, reflecting on how achieving success can profoundly transform a person’s character.Choosing Fresh Talent for PurityDuring a SCREEN interview, talking to director Jaskunwar Kohli, who created the documentary ‘Zero Se Restart’ on the making of Chopra’s ’12th Fail’, Vidhu shared his approach to choosing fresh and inexperienced people for his projects. He believes that new talent brings “more purity” and “less corruption” to the work environment. Reflecting on those who began their careers assisting him and are now successful filmmakers, Chopra noticed that their early work had a unique sincerity. However, he also pointed out a change that success can bring: “Unfortunately, if I cast a new face in my film and that one movie does well, it changes them.”
Transformation of Actors with SuccessChopra remarked on the transformation he has witnessed in actors as their careers advance and they gain fame. While he didn’t specify any filmmakers, he mentioned several actors whose early breakthroughs came through his films. He said, “I’ve worked with so many people and I’ve seen them change. Mission Kashmir was Hrithik Roshan’s first film… Vidya Balan’s first film… Boman Irani’s first film… There’s a whole list, I don’t know how many. As they become successful, all of them, this isn’t an individual thing, they change. That’s why I like people who are nobodies, because once you become somebody, you don’t remain the same person.”
