After recognizing the immense star potential in
director Farhan Akhtar , filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor convinced him to star in the
mega blockbuster Rock On! that went on to win a National award .
Soon after Akhtar swept multiple awards for his
performances, something that Kapoor was confident about when he recognized the
actor in him.
Abhishek Kapoor's Kai Po Che that marked Sushant
Singh Rajput's debut ,went on to become the most talked about film in 2013
not just for its relevant subject and treatment but also because a star was
born with Sushant Singh Rajput. 4 years later , the
two who share a truly commendable partnership teamed up for Kedarnath, which
was also Sara Ali Khan's massive launch pad.
The young actress walked away with rave reviews
for the film and is already one of the most sought after stars. All this
despite being just a film old, speaking volumes for Kapoor's knack of
recognizing, mentoring and nurturing talent.
Says a trade source, " Abhishek Kapoor is
known to have a keen eye for talent. He launched names like Farhan Akhtar as an
actor ( Rock On) , Sushant Singh Rajput ( Kai Po Che) , Rajkummar Rao ( Kai Po
Che) and now Sara Ali Khan ( Kedarnath) , all of whom are bonafide stars.
Kapoor recognizes talent when he sees it and grooms and nurtures it to its full
potential. He is a fine mentor ,whether its conducting workshops , grooming
them on their screen presence, right down to conversations and all else that goes
into making a great actor".
When contacted said Abhishek Kapoor, “Casting
newcomers is not a deliberate move but a natural process and that is how it
should be. I guess I’ve been successful
at it because my intention has always been to make my film and tell the story.
New talent from my films have always emerged as a byproduct of the films.. They
have to be right for the character and give it 100%. If
any story demands a fresh face i won’t hold back.. Besides, as a film maker it
gives me the opportunity to contribute to the pool of talent in the industry.”
