“Film Actor”, says both requires craft.

don’t see any difference between theater and commercial cinema. I mean both are
creative platforms, which require tools and craft, and demand a good
performance from you. While doing theater, the feedback is quick, in cinema the
stakes are higher and feedback sometimes can be brutal”
“I am an artist, I believe in performing, delivering the best
version of my part. Theater provided me with good foundation and gave me tools
to sharpen my craft. I have been acting on stage since over a decade, both in
Delhi and in the Mumbai” added Nishank.

forward is very important. He said, “It’s really important for me to keep
learning, engaging with people, reading up, and brushing up my craft or
learning a new technique. I have done stage, films, short films, TVC, music
videos, series, television shows. I’m a storyteller myself, and I dabble in
writing and direction. I really find it important to keep myself engaged with
creative endeavors.
