Nora Fatehi, the well-known actor-dancer, recently shared her perspective on the hurdles she’s encountered in the film industry. During a recent interview, Nora candidly discussed her observations about the industry’s tendency to predominantly cast a select group of actors in lead roles, often overlooking other talented individuals.
Nora Fatehi, who stepped into acting with ‘Street Dancer 3D’ in 2020, has gained recognition for her captivating dance performances in numerous movies. Despite her impressive dance abilities, Nora asserted that her potential to secure lead roles isn’t limited by her dance skills. She pointed out that legendary heroines in Bollywood have consistently showcased remarkable dance talents, suggesting that her proficiency in dancing isn’t the primary factor affecting her opportunities for lead roles.
Nora Fatehi shared her thoughts with media, stating, “I don’t believe it’s because of my dance skills that they’re hesitant to cast me. Our iconic heroines in Bollywood have always been exceptional dancers who excel in dance numbers. It’s been a part of the package of being an iconic heroine. I think it’s more about someone taking the chance on me and if I prove myself across all aspects – acting skills, presence, aura, language proficiency – then others would follow suit. It’s like, who would have the courage to take the first step, to take a chance on me. That’s what everyone was waiting for.” Nora seems to emphasize the need for an opportunity to showcase her skills comprehensively in order to prove herself as a versatile performer.
Nora Fatehi commented on the prevalent practice of repeatedly casting a select group of actresses, highlighting the intensified competition within the industry due to a limited number of films produced each year. She noted, “The current industry scenario is highly competitive. Let’s face the reality. The film output is limited each year. Filmmakers might get confined to the immediate options before them. If only a handful of actresses are actively taking up projects in rotation and continuously securing roles, it’s likely that filmmakers will focus solely on them, failing to explore beyond that circle.” Nora appears to underscore the challenge of breaking into the cycle and gaining recognition among a constrained pool of options.
