Naseeruddin Shah Says Great Actors Are Nothing Without Great Writers And Directors At Main Vaapas Aaunga Launch Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah delivered a candid and memorable reflection at the trailer launch of Main Vaapas Aaunga, emphasizing the indispensable role of writers and directors in an actor’s success. Speaking alongside filmmaker Imtiaz Ali during the event in Mumbai, Shah openly credited the creative team for shaping an actor’s performance rather than attributing success to individual talent alone. When asked about his experience on the film, Shah responded with his signature blend of wit and humility. He asserted that an actor’s achievements are entirely dependent on the quality of the script and direction. “If the writing isn’t right, even the world’s finest actor is powerless to achieve anything,” he said, adding that his own career includes “some truly terrible performances”—a claim he humorously illustrated by referencing his son’s late-night viewings of his films. The audience laughed at his self-deprecating remarks, which underscored his deep respect for the collaborative nature of filmmaking. Shah praised Imtiaz Ali’s script for Main Vaapas Aaunga, calling it “exceptional” with “beautiful dialogue” and “powerful situations.” He highlighted the director’s meticulous approach, noting that Imtiaz rarely calls for retakes solely to refine an actor’s performance—a rarity in the industry. “I am absolutely—my heart is truly yearning—to watch this film of yours,” he added, expressing genuine enthusiasm. Shah’s remarks became a standout moment of the event, celebrated by fans and critics alike for their honesty and insight. His acknowledgment of the importance of storytelling and direction over star power resonated deeply, reinforcing the idea that cinema thrives on collective creativity.#mumbai #naseeruddin_shah #ar_rahman #imtiaz_ali #main_vaapas_aaunga
