This is a very good time for actors: Shabana Azmi

Chandigarh, July 29: A whole lot of independent cinema and a variety of mediums have made this a very good time for actors of all ages, especially those looking for meaningful roles, says respected film and theatre artist Shabana Azmi.

“Earlier we only had films or theatre, but now we have so many mediums for an actor; it is in fact a very good time. Actors of all age groups are getting meaningful roles and a good audience. Earlier there were very few roles for actresses above the age of 30 years, but now the scenario has changed,” Shabana told IANS in an interview here.

“Now there is a lot of independent cinema, giving many opportunities to artists of all age groups to play more realistic characters,” said the actress known for her power-packed performances.
