Acting
with Celebrities
Celebrities have a magnetic persona no
matter which part of the world they are from. It's every talent's
dream to share screen space with their favorite celebrity. However,
it is very important to have a few ground rules in mind when working
with them.
Every celebrity has a different working
style, every production house or channel has to accommodate their
demands if reasonable. So, there will be a certain aura around them
which may intimidate you, don't succumb to that feeling. Most people
tend to get overwhelmed with their presence and behave frantically,
leading to an awkward situation for both parties. For example, if you
get casted opposite Shahrukh Khan in a commercial and seeing him you
go ballistic, he could feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, if you
carry yourself in
a professional manner, e.g. greeting him and delivering an amazing
shot, you will leave a long lasting impression. Perhaps not on SRK
himself, but it could open the door to future endeavors. As we all
know, word of mouth is the biggest marketing tool we have.
An aspiring model from Mumbai got a
chance to act in Farah Khan's movie “Om Shanti Om”, she played
one of Shahrukh Khan's assistants in the film. The part had zero
dialogue, but she definitely stood out. Opportunities such as beauty
pageants, ramp shows and international fashion weeks came her way.
Not everyone gets that kind of exposure, but she definitely took the
right path. There is a possibility that you may not get noticed and
it may be that you're noticed immediately.
You will bump into celebrities at
various events and parties. Maintaining a good rapport is imperative
to your success. At times, actors and their publicists tend to garner
popularity by taking advantage of such situations. They also tend to
make up controversial stories of link-ups, misbehavior and even
create dramatic incidents during an important occasion in a
celebrity's life! For example, a small time actress created a huge
buzz during Abhishek Bacchan's wedding. She stated that he had
promised to marry her, this generated a huge media hype. Is any
publicity really good publicity? It may hold true for some or true
for none.
