TOI: Film stars feel we dun hv talent-Tacker

Common to most TV actors is their dream to make it and break into Bollywood and many of them have been successful in their attempt (Yami Gupta and Ayushmann Khurana in recent times).

But the big step into Bollywood is not always an easy one. Many a times, actors struggle to even get an audition as they don't necessarily fit into the film world. Popular TV actor Karan Tacker, currently seen on Star Plus' Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hain, shares the sentiment. "I really don't know what works. People from the film industry feel we are too exposed. They don't consider TV actors as talented and feel that the kind of content we do is not progressive or rather, very home bodied."

Adding, "I have a lot of respect for TV but it also sort of restricts you and the industry is female centric. In films, you get enough time to work on your character creatively." Karan Tacker too is in the process of considering films this year which may not be "very commercially viable" but will do them for their "art and craft".
