Farhan Akhtar feels his acting career has a shelf life

Farhan Akhtar, who has successfully made a transition from direction to a bankable Bollywood actor, says he is taking up acting projects because he enjoys being in front of the camera. "It is not a question of getting too comfortable. I am enjoying it for sure. It is as comfortable as doing anything if your heart is in it... So, I think good roles are coming my way and I am happy with the films that I am getting," Farhan said.

"I feel things like these (acting career) also have a shelf life, I can only play those characters for that long. However, I feel there is no need to rock the boat at the moment,” he added. Farhan is awaiting the release of the sequel of ‘Rock On’, which hits theatres this Friday. The story of the upcoming film has shifted out of Mumbai to Shillong, Meghalaya and Farhan says the change in setting reflects the new storyline of his character.

"My character has relocated out of Mumbai. He has adopted a village and is working closely with villagers, setting up schools, women empowerment centres. We wanted it to be set in the hills just for a change in scenery and we were thinking about many places. Himachal Pradesh was also one of them but ultimately we decided on Shillong,” he said.
