RAJ
KAPOOR IS MY ROLE MODEL-SANJAY KAPOOR
 The
well known cine artist Sanjay Kapoor said
that the main purpose of making a film is
to entertain the viewers by narrating a visually
powerful story. He was addressing the students
after formally inaugurating the 2004-05 session
of 'University of Media Arts' Asian School
of Media Studies' at Noida. Answering questions
put to him Sanjay Kapoor said that like for
any other human endeavour proper education
and systematic training is necessary for filmmaking.

to induct and promote their kith and kin into
the film industry, he said that what really
matters in the film industry are one's own
technical competence, hard work and talent
and not a god father. Responding to a comment
by a member of the audience about his role
in his latest film Julie, Sanjay Kapoor said
it is the effectiveness of a role rather than
anything else what is of significance to an
actor. He mentioned that he is currently playing
a role in feature film Anjaane, Sanjay Kapoor
disclosed he is seriously toying with the
idea of producing a feature film himself.
