Mukesh Chhabra's take on TV actors Vs film actors

Chhabra wrote, "You know, I just want to put this out clearly. People often ask me if there’s a difference between a TV actor and a film actor. My answer has always been no. Television actors are extremely special to me. I’ve found some of my finest performers through television. My advice to actors who keep asking me, “Film karni hai”— act as an actor. Just keep working. Don’t wait. OTT, television, films, theatre, stage—do whatever opportunity comes your way. Because in the end, work is more important than the medium. For me, an actor is an actor. Talent is universal. And lastly, thank you to all the actors—for your hard work, your patience, and your belief in the craft. I truly respect and admire each one of you."Mukesh Chhabra is known for his brilliant casting projects like Bajrangi Bhaijan, Bombay Velvet, Dangal, Scam 1992, Laal Singh Chaddha, Jawan, Dunki, and more.
