MUMBAI, March 2 — Tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain says he would like to act again if good projects come his way, Press Trust of India (PTI) reported.
Hussain was last seen in ‘Saaz’, a 1998 Hindi movie produced and directed by Sai Paranjpye which also starred Aruna Irani and Shabana Azmi.
He has also acted in an international film, ‘Heat and Dust’ (1983), directed by James Ivory. The English film was released in the UK and the US.
“I have never projected myself as an actor or something like that. But if something came my way and if I had time, I would do it. But I know I am a much better tabla player than an actor, so I would prefer to do that,” Hussain told PTI.
“But if something comes along and if I have time, and if people have the confidence that I can pull it off… well then I will do it again,” the 61-year-old said when asked if he would take up acting once again.
“I am very happy being a musician, interacting with great musicians and learning from them,” he maintained.
