Acting is a nightmare, says talented Nikhil Chinapa

Mumbai: He is set to make his Bollywood debut in Anurag Kashyap`s much hyped production `Shaitan` but Nikhil Chinapa says that the thriller will be his first and last silver screen outing.

The MTV VJ says that acting is a "nightmare" and never wants to say another dialogue in his life again. "I hate acting. Takes, re-takes, make up, rehearsing the lines, I just don`t understand all of this. Its a nightmare," Chinapa told reporters. The 37-year-old, who is also a DJ and says music is his passion, finds acting boring and only said `yes` to `Shaitan` because he liked director Bejoy Nambiar. "DJ`ing comes naturally to me, I don`t get anything about acting. I never wanted to act, I am happy playing music but when Bejoy approached me, I liked him as a person and did the movie for him," said Chinapa. Nambiar`s directorial debut `Shaitan` revolves around a group of four friends whose life change for the worse during the course of a drunken night-out. The film, starring Kalki Koechlin, Rajeev Khandelwal, Shiv Pandit and Arshad Warsi, releases on June 1. PTI
