1 month ago | 5 Views
Bollywood actor Dino Morea became an overnight sensation with his film Raaz. However, his career slowed down in the 2010s. In an interview with Pinkvilla, the actor admitted to feeling insecure when film offers dried up and revealed why he has resorted to taking supporting roles in films.
Dino Morea on feeling insecure
Discussing his insecurities, Dino remarked, "This industry is rife with insecurities. When film offers are scarce and you find yourself at home, you begin to question your next steps. There is a common adage in our field: 'out of sight, out of mind.' This thought lingers in your mind, and as a result, you may inadvertently select an unsuitable film simply to maintain visibility—so that people acknowledge your presence and recognize that you are still active."
Dino Morea on doing supporting roles
Further discussing his decision to take on smaller roles, Dino said, "During your low phase, there are a lot of insecurities. You have to learn to pick yourself up. I believe that I am starting over again. Jis tarah main abhi pictures chun raha hun, guest appearance kar raha hun, chote chote role kar raha hun. Kyunki main jaanta hun mera stock abhi kahan hain. Main koi galat femi mein nahi rehta ki main sabse upar hun. Main jaanta hun main kahan hun." (The way I am selecting films now, doing guest appearances, taking up small roles—because I know exactly where I stand right now. I don’t live under any illusion that I am at the top. I am aware of my position.) "I want to be seen and do movies."
He further added that while he has done some "fantastic" shows and earned praise for his performances, he still holds immense love for films. He recalled how some of his films, where he played the lead role, went unnoticed, which made him rethink his approach. This led him to prioritise being part of large-scale films so that he could gain visibility and earn recognition for his work.
Dino Morea's upcoming film
Dino was most recently featured in "Mere Husband Ki Biwi," where he shared the screen with Rakul Preet Singh, Bhumi Pednekar, and Arjun Kapoor. Unfortunately, the film did not perform well at the box office. His upcoming project is "Housefull 5," directed by Tarun Mansukhani. This film marks the fifth installment in the Housefull series and includes a notable cast featuring Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, and Sonam Bajwa in significant roles.
