Last week, a casting director questioned the intersection between athletics and movies. Even when the batter and former captain of the indian cricket team decides to retire from the game, casting director Mukesh Chhabra feels that kohli should not become a movie star because of his inherent talent and charm. Because of his charm and commercial performances, Chhabra calls kohli a "great actor." He goes on to explain that kohli is suited for cricket, where he has so far performed admirably.
 
The casting director claims that kohli managed to deal with popularity and competitiveness without letting his weight increase or his mental health deteriorate. In this instance, the latter is a crucial quality of any star. His status as a role model is further cemented by his roles as a husband and parent, exhibiting traits that many of his admirers find appealing.
 
Chhabra's statement aligns with the belief that not all accomplished cricket players need to pursue careers in acting. Many cricketing heroes have tried their luck in front of the camera, but most of them were unable to replicate the magic they performed on the field. Chhabra's counsel to kohli to be a cricket hero instead of pursue a career in bollywood is a way of expressing to be true to yourself and recognize your abilities.
 
Chhabra's statement serves as a reminder that excellence in one discipline does not necessarily translate to another in an era where celebrity cultures cross professional boundaries. It would be preferable for kohli to stick to his strengths in the sport and stay away from other endeavors where he might not be as skilled at changing people's lives on TV.
