Zeeshan Ayyub says he was removed from his movie’s posters for ‘stupid, unbelievable’ reasons: ‘I feel frustrated’

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Zeeshan expressed his frustration for not getting meaty roles. He also revealed that he is often not featured on the posters of his films and that too, for “stupid” reasons. He said, “Kayi baar gussa aata hai ki aap itna effort daalte hain aur aapko sideline kar dia jaata hai (I often feel angry. After putting in so much effort, I am sidelined). Frustrated bhi feel hota hai. In the last six years, I have worked in several projects, but if you sit to count the number of posters I am in, there will be hardly any. I was supposed to be on the posters of those films but at the end, a very stupid and unbelievable reason was given to me.”

Despite being treated unfairly, Zeeshan says he will continue to give good performances on screen. “What can one do? I can’t change their way of thinking. I can only keep owning my craft and giving better and better performances.”

Zeeshan’s talent has been widely acknowledged, and he has been part of successful films like Mission Mangal, Tubelight, Article 15, Raanjhanaa and more. Recently, he received acclaim for his portrayal of an editor, based on journalist Hussain Zaidi, in Hansal Mehta’s Scoop.
