Newcomer Nikhil disappointed with ban on his film

Newcomer Nikhil Dwivedi is disappointed with the ban on his first film My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves in two Indian states.

The debutant actor says it is very unfortunate that his first film has been banned in Bihar and Jharkhand, the states that are close to the place where he belongs, Uttar Pradesh.

"I feel very disappointed. It is very unfortunate that my films have been banned in Bihar and Jharkhand. We all have worked very hard on this film and being from Allahabad, I would have really wanted the film to be screened in these states. But what can we do, we have to go by the decision of the community that has banned it," he says quite helplessly.

Nikhil who plays the character of a struggling actor in the film says the film is a sort of autobiography for him. He was in the capital on Thursday to promote the film.

"In the film I play a struggling actor who doesn't have great looks but want to make it big in the tinsel town, so it is very similar to what I am in real life, so it is a sort of autobiography," he says.

So, how much importance he gives to looks when it comes to acting?

"I dont think looks are at all important for good acting. It is a chemistry between the actor and the audience, so nobody knows the truth. If only looks had been important then all models and good-looking guys would have been great actors," he says.

Nikhil, who shares his screen presence some great actors like Anupam Kher , Mithun Chakraborty and Pawan Malhotra says he has learned more as a human being from them, although he never needed to take any acting tips from them.

"I learned a lot from them as a human being apart from an actor, something which I have realised during shooting that they all are very selfless human being," he says.

Although Nikhil is still awaiting the verdict of the audience on his debut film, the actor already has some films already in hand and some offers too.

"I am doing a film which is a remake of Sunny Deol's ‘Arjun’, then there is multi-starrer comedy and there are couple of other films whose scripts are being discussed."

So how is it working in Arjun?

"It is never easy to live upto the expectations of a film which has already been made before. So our main responsibility is not to destroy the original film and then be at par if not better it," he says.
