If anybody needs to be an actor within the nation, or needs to like cinema, you’ll have to watch movies on the massive display solely. That gives depth in characters, which doesn’t work in small display. The performances that impressed me to grow to be an actor had been all watched by me on the massive screen- from Parinda, Sholay, Bandit Queen, Satya. If I had seen these movies on the small display, their affect would have been lesser,” he added.
