Saqib Saleem is keen to accelerate things in his life

‘Mere Dad Ki Maruti’ (2013) introduced Saqib Saleem, the younger brother of Huma Qureshi, to the big screen. This gave him a good start, but he has not been seen since.  This is because he wants to look for good content than the volume in films.

According to The Indian Express, he said, “I can’t do too many films. I take time with my films and I want to work on every script properly before I move on to something else,” and continued, “Sometimes, people don’t make the kind of films you want to do. So, I took a call that I will not do films. It is better to do a right a film rather than a bad project.”

He explained that some of his films were shelved, “I was doing a couple of films which got shelved before a week the shooting was supposed to start. I guess that also put me at the backfoot. I was driving things in life on fourth gear, but now I am on third gear.”

Talking about moving things along, the actor admitted, “I need to accelerate things. But I will still not sign everything that comes to me. I will stick to doing right films and not lie to myself or the audience.”

Saleem is set to work with Taapsee Pannu, and the shooting will be in Delhi, he commented on this, “I am very excited as I have never shot in Delhi before. This is my home, I have grown up here and there is nothing more special than shooting in your hometown. And more than me, my friends and family are exited. They want to visit the sets. I am looking forward to the schedule.”

The actor moved to Mumbai to follow his dream in acting, “Not everybody can match up to the pace of Mumbai. If you get that pace, you love it and if you don’t you are always trying to match up.” However, he still gets into the Delhi-Mumbai debate.”
