Strugglers awaiting their big break will be able to relate to Shahid Kapoor’s forthcoming film Chance Pe Dance, claims the actor. He reveals he could relate to the character as he too was rejected at many auditions and had once slept in his car for a whole night.
“It’s a very realistic film on strugglers. The story of the film flows through such a situation that any struggler can identify with, whether he is struggling as an engineer, doctor or lawyer,” says Shahid.
Directed by Ken Ghosh, Chance Pe Dance revolves around a talented young struggling actor Sameer (Shahid). Positive and brimming with energy, Sameer juggles various jobs while working towards getting his big break in films. During his struggle, he meets Tina (Genelia D’Souza), a choreographer.
“It’s the typical character of an aspiring actor. He comes from Delhi and struggles in Mumbai for three years. He stays in a house but the rent is due for a long time. (He) owns a second hand car, but doesn’t have money to buy petrol. But having failed in almost 300 auditions, he is still a very positive guy. Every day he wakes up with a hope that something good will happen to him. That is the quality that makes him going,” Shahid explains.
The actor says he could really identify with the character. “Five years back, I was Sameer. I had a red Maruti 800. I also went for many auditions, which turned (out) to be futile. There are situations in the film that I have also gone through,” recalls the actor.
