Life of an actor and Indian cinema 

It’s been more than 100 years that we Indians are enjoying Indian cinema and getting entertained by it. The Indian cinema not just only entertain people but is a big hand in the economy of the country. There are more than 1800 films get produced every year in different languages in India. As of 2013 india ranked first in terms of annual film output followed by nollywood, Hollywood and china.  

History of Indian cinema

The history of Indian cinema goes back to 1896 Following the screening of the Lumière and Robert Paul moving pictures in London. Since then we can all see the difference in cinema there are now action films, romantic films and animated films many more. By the passage of time there is an increment in all the fields of work whether it is a small work or a big one.   

We are in the age of new bollywood which is from 1990 – present.

In today’s era of new bollywood we see so many changes than before the biggest change is colour combination . first the movies used to be black and white the first movie to release as colourd films was kisan kanhaiya in 1934 directed by moti. B . the turning point came to the industry with the yash chopera musical romance Chandani ( 1989) starring shri devi. 

 It was an instrumental ending of an era of action films. In the 2010s that was the ear of new upcoming faces some were the star kids some were just a new faces.Some of the upcoming stars were ranbir kapoor, deepika padukon , ranveer singh, sushant singh 

rajput, kangana Ranaut and many more. In this era films also started changing it was more about giving a life lesson to the audience rather than just showing a fantasy world. Some of the movies of that time are:- the dirty picture (2011) kahani (2012) queen (2015). Now if we look to the films in this year or the previous year the change that came is now the films are breaking the stereotype of the society like we can see the movies like Ek ladki ko dekha tho esa laga (2019) shubh mangal zyada savdhan (2020) they represented the LGBT community and raised the standard by breaking the stereotype.

Now we all saw that there were and there are many blockbusters movies but these movies are nothing without  the actor in it. so lets have a look what an actor face when he/she is trying to fit in the society.

Life of an actor

Life of an actor its just said that life of an actor is so happening they have everything they want they can get anything on the door steps by just a single click or a call.

But ever thought about how they reached at this level where everything to us seems so beautiful. So with this lets have a look how an actor start their journey in the industry.

Rome was not build in a day same as a star is not build in a day. Every new comer has or have to face the struggling days in their life as we all know Mumbai is famously said THE MAYANAGRI it’s not easy to fit in. then there are the star kids they get films easily just because of their previous family member in the industry. The real meaning of struggle is faced by the new comer they have to pass a lot of auditions have to do lot of small roles in the film like background artist background dancer spot boy. They barely get a break in short films or some of the web series. As we all know success don’t come knocking your door same is with the new comer there is many unsuccessful stories behind their success but that leads to low morale  financial problem or may be no project in hand or pipeline. After all this if they get a big role there is lot of competition with the star kid and others. then comes the real success after this they group with the existing actors. Now comes the star kids they have not face any struggle like the new comers but they face different struggle in their life. They don’t have any personal life if we see they are always asked about their relationship or about the family member or what’s going inside their house.  They also have pressure to maintain the stardom and invest money and time into it. to maintain all this they throw parties attend parties their social circle expand with this. They need to face media every time they doing anything and that become big controversial news for the people out there. There are many pros and cons of being a star kid. They have to 

follow the trend they need to send their kid also into the same line. They don’t have any other carrier choices to make they need to be the flag holder of the family. The pros are they can travel around easily they can have a life style they want. They can choose what they have to keep in life what not to.

so  this was all about the Indian cinema and a life of an actor in industry works. How a new comer and a star kid is treated. What are the life style choices they have to make to be happy in their life.
