 Rick do you want to invite people to something? I do if you're in LA you want to come See the play that I and my fellow castmates are in called dinner with friends It's happening at the Zephyr Theater on Melrose in Hollywood. Wait, you're an actor opens. Yes. I'm an actor Wow And it it opens this weekend's gonna play through all of April and hopefully maybe ticket sales will justify an extension to Take it beyond April. So there you go. There you go. I Didn't know you were an actor. I thought you just talked out of your ass all the time. No, well that that too that too Hey, we'll go back to our stupid eggs of Corbin You fuss on Instagram Twitter for more juicy content. Thank you. If you support some patreon folks do it again subscribe like button What do we do in Rick? I don't know. Yeah me either man Today we got a little It's always interrupting me This is a little little interview. Hey, it's your best friend. It's my best friend Shahid Kapoor Not Shahid Kapoor, which is what we used to call him when we first started the channel I find funny as well now wait, I called him Shahid There's a lot that we said There's a lot we still say. Oh, yeah all the time We're very dumb to this is a little interview from Baruch India That he did and it's Shid Kapoor on disparity in the film industry You know everybody knows Shid Kapoor is very disparate upon in the industry, of course But he's not a product of neptism, right? I don't know I don't care The whole uproar about nepotism is a just Giant waste of time. No one should definitely be upset with the Shid Kapoor about nepotism because Dude has talent out the butt in terms of acting dancing I don't know in the in the other things, but he's brought a lot to the industry As an actor and a dancer Every every industry is about relationships and it makes sense that you would have someone from your family Continue doing stuff with you because you have a relationship with them It's the whole argument about nepotism to me is just a giant anyway Unless they suck then then it's terrible. I agree. Yeah, then it's like anything You know, you're gonna give somebody preferential treatment and call them great, but they're not great and they suck That's one thing but that's rarely ever happened and I would like to thank Rick for Tuning in from jail as well. Yes. Here we go. You're welcome I think it was last time we skied just like it was really cool to Rick to Skype from his jail cell It's about right. Here we go Everybody says this punkage Kapoor ka beta and all that but you know character actors don't have any power Only stars and superstars and big film directors and producers have power if you start struggling in a BMW And then after a star you buy another BMW. Then what's the fun of it? Why don't outsiders get opportunities the way that they should there's a lot of people who are from within the fraternity and very few from the outside Have you like been a dancer behind like, you know a-lister stars? Yeah, of course behind I was last in line also see when you start with Shamak. You have to be in the last line. So forget Being behind a star. You're also behind your contemporaries. You have to earn your right to be in the first row You have to write to be more central as opposed to in the corner. So it's a lot of work and I just I love that I love the fact that Every step forward required so much effort and it meant so much and so the gratification that you felt when you earned it Was so solid. It has to be difficult to get something. Otherwise. What's the point of it? You know if you start struggling in a BMW and then after a star you buy another BMW Then what's the fun of it? You should have traveled in trains You should have wondered how you're going to, you know get your photo shoot cup. How is it going to come from? Meetings kill a cup. They can only go how will you do all those things like that's real, right? Yeah, of course. I mean, it's it's it's the actual adventure. That's what goes in the books. I mean, but so at this point did people in that row Malaga char rose hair dancers key and That time we're not gonna take your full name. It's like Shahid Pichek Hara. Hey Pankaj Kapoor See everybody says this Pankaj Kapoor ka beta and all that but you know character actors don't have any power Only stars and superstars and big film directors and producers have power. So it's not a big deal Secondly, I actually stayed with my mom So I never told anybody because my parents were separated and there was this whole pride thing that I don't want to say anything To anybody so I never told anybody Actually, I told my dad that I've signed the film after I signed it He didn't even know from the time you started to now. What is what is like the biggest difference you see? If I say it yeah, say it why don't outsiders get opportunities the way that they should there's a lot of people Who are from within the fraternity and very few from the outside? I don't know if that was the case 20 years back But I know we came from outside. I know I also came from outside actually because I came from Delhi to Bombay And I was with my mom and then I stuck I mean I didn't I didn't have any channel talent is not being given an opportunity as much As it should and I pride myself in the fact that I am here because of the work that I did and because of The actor that I learned to become and whatever it is that I gave to the craft, you know like I pride myself in that Whether I've had a great career average career from everybody's point of view whatever Everybody has a different point of view, but no what I'm saying is like no seriously Like you know everybody will have a different point of view You know, but but whatever it is it is menath ki kamai, you know like calm say, you know, not nam say Nam say oh yeah Come say killing our biggest superstars were calm say we're actually killing our own fraternity Maybe that's why there is a lack of good content. Oh, wow Because you got to put your money on the horse that can actually run not just the one that's you know Got the shiniest coat Yeah, it looks like it's a a much longer interview and they've cut it up Yeah, I'd be really interested to hear more of that because he won. He's such a well-spoken man and You know what we think of him as an actor. I think he's a One of the best especially in of his of his Age groupings Which is how you do actors and people in his you don't normally compare like Michael Cain to you know Timothy Chalamet Two different points in their careers, but of his contemporaries, I think would be the word He's he's definitely one of the best. I think And it shows that he cares so much about his craft Yeah, I would be interested to see how much he He says he didn't get any help from his father and he says and That if if anybody did anybody know that he was his kid though Because that's that's one of the things I do take it because Lily Rose depth said this one time She says I didn't I didn't my dad didn't give me anything. I said well your name is deaf. Okay, so that is a that is a advantage you have Over others because people know who your father is so they're like, oh, let's capitalize on the name So that doesn't mean you don't have to have the talent And you still have to deliver after that But it's a foot in the door thing that I think people that have it need to that they do need to acknowledge that I don't know how much yeah, I don't know how much of that happens here That's just an example like I had of Lily Rose I heard her say that once and I was like bro your dad's one of the biggest movie stars in the world come down You've had a big step in the door yeah, I mean anything if if if I Don't have a problem with this and if I was a producer or a director and I made this choice I would do it as well if you have two people who are right for the role and could do it really really well, right? They're both equally talented. They would both have their own take on it But one of them happened to be He doesn't have a kid, but let's say one of them last name was de Caprio. Yeah If I was auditioning for something and it turned out to be that it was you know Me and it was up to me and de Caprio son and they gave it to de Caprio I would absolutely understand that what I would care about is is he gonna do a good job and as long as he did a good job I'd be like awesome. I totally get it I would hire a de Caprio before I'd hire me yeah because the interest level is gonna be so much higher that they're gonna be able To have some sense of guarantee of return on their investment just because people will be intrigued ooh a de Caprio It's just yeah, it's just common sense. The main thing is well Here's the thing if they're not that's the thing don't don't hype something up That isn't good whether it's an actor or a film or a director or a song just because you have a personal prejudice Toward it that's never gonna be more important than the actual quality of the craft. Yeah I know I'm not saying that Shit, I'm not questioning shit. I'm just I wanted to know If if that is the case because then that I think star kids need to Acknowledge the privilege that they have I don't think they need to be I don't think they need to Be ashamed of it obviously I would love to have a famous father Give you give you a good example everybody Jamie Lee Curtis won an Oscar for everything everywhere all at once Because she's a good actor not because she's Tony Curtis's daughter but she did She got her because of her you betcha cuz she's Tony Curtis's daughter And she'll be the first one to tell you I got into this industry because I'm Tony Curtis's daughter I got a really really lucky break. Yeah That is something that I definitely I Take issue with stark star kids that don't acknowledge that that don't acknowledge Because it is the biggest advantage you can have There's a lot of other stuff. I don't tell I don't hold it against them If they're star kids and they're talented and they deserve like Shahid Kapoor is one that's very deserving of his stardom Even though he says he's not a star, but I do he is he is here's a little nepotism To the side if you will that's coming up The Michael Jackson biopic Yeah, so it's not his kid, but it's his cousin. Yeah So what we're gonna just write that film off before it ever comes out because he had preferential treatment because he was related to Michael No, how about the fact that maybe because he's related to Michael There's gonna be a higher interest and maybe he has a genetic predisposition to portray him better than anybody else can't Well, yeah, no that one's definitely A Smart on that part for sure. Yeah, it's a very smart casting choice and my assumption is gonna be that when he screen tested He did well because if you think that's gonna people are gonna go see a film just because it's his cousin I promise you if he gets up there on screen and he's not doing a good Michael It's gonna be really really bad for everybody Anyways, let us know you thought about that let us know it's our next shade Kapoor film should be I am we good to have some more to get to have his bunch of his That we need to get to and shade Kapoor my best friend, please come on the channel
