Take a guess!! Okay, let me give you some clues… how many Indian film directors (Bollywood) have established themselves as accomplished actors? To my knowledge, there are not many. We can in fact put it down to a very few numbers. Here is the closest clue for you…this film director perhaps happens to be the most accomplished actor in the Indian cinema. He is touted as a fine director whenever he comes out with a movie and then a good actor whenever he acts in a movie. Yeah, he is none other than the very talented Farhan Akhtar! It was quite an easy guess for you all… is not it??

Well, this is not his latest movie Karthik Calling Karthik that made me to transcribe this article. The fact is that the movie has not much to write about, at least for me. KCK’s script revolves around various aspects of life- love, career and relationships of a guy who suffers from multiple mental disorders, or precisely Schizophrenia. Schizophrenia being a common movie subject, it hardly strikes a cord with the audience. Here, I am not giving a review of KCK, because apart from the acting of Farhan Akhtar, there is not much stuff to write about. Since, in Bollywood films lead female actors are treated as showpieces, except the likes of Parineeta, Black and Jab We Met, I would have left with very little stuff had I attempted to write a review of KCK.

As an actor, Farhan Akhtar is four-film old (The Fakir of Venice, Rock On, Luck By Chance and Karthik Calling Karthik). I have seen the last three films and have appreciated his acting skills so far. But, this is my very first opportunity to write about the actor as one of his ardent admirers! His transformation from a director to an actor has floored me totally. I would not say he is a superb actor, rather a better actor!

To my surprise and many movie fanatics, Farhan Akhtar turned out to be a promising actor. He surprised me with his acting in each of his movies to such an extent that it made me think that how an unconventional actor like him could act so well? I wonder why not he ventured into acting before. But, we often tend to forget that he is a master of the art called acting. Why do we forget that he has given some of the finest Bollywood movies- Dil Chahta Hai and Lakshya. While, the former is a huge hit, the latter did not do well at the box office, still I would like to say that it’s a good movie! He has always showed his excellence as a Director. I believe, now Farhan Aktar is taking ‘acting’ seriously and is in the perfect mood to prove his acting skills. But, it is hard for his fans to compare his directorial skills and acting skills.

But then, every good director cannot be a good actor! Can you imagine Karan Johar, who is one of the finest directors in Bollywood, playing a lead role in a movie? At least I cannot! Not to take this seriously by KJo’s fans! Farhan Akhtar’s transformation from a promising director to a better actor is good for us. We are fortunate enough to have such an actor, when a folk of established Bollywood actors are still learning how to act, or in professional language ‘experimenting with their acting skills’.

Coming back to his latest movie Karthik Calling Karthik, Farhan Akhtar lived up to his image as ‘Thinking Woman’s Sex Symbol’ and one would definitely fall for him. A good movie with a not-so-unique subject, excellent acting by the lead actor, commendable acting by supporting actors and of course, there is gorgeous Deepika Padukone. If you are a Farhan Akhtar fan and have not seen KCK yet, do not give it a miss!
