Wanting a career in the acting and entertainment industry is a dream of many. There is money, power and unlimited fame. Sad part of life is very few people get to have a long career in film industry. Most of aspiring actors and actresses struggle to get a single major break in the film industry. There are many who get a stable role but are not satisfied with the type of roles they get.

Everyone has the right to dream and entertainment industry is the place where dreams come true. Even if it only applies to just 1%. Still the lure of stardom is such that you can't blame the rest of 99% for trying.

Vedic Astrology can help one know if there are chances of success in the film industry. Four planets and strength of them largely decide if a person can enjoy career in acting.

Planets which decide acting career

1. Mars
2. Venus/Jupiter
3. Rahu

There has to be strength in atleast one of these four planets in order to become an actor or actress. If one or more of the four planets have strength and influence tenth house of career, ascendant or seventh house of business than chances of becoming an actor/actress increase.

Any successful star that has a major fan following and is considered a superstar generally has strength of Mars. That includes Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Rajnikanth or late Rajesh Khanna. These superstars generally stick to acting on a particular persona. They don't experiment much with their roles. But their fans love and adore them in a particular persona only. Those with Mars in Scorpio, Capricorn or Aries can become superstar in entertainment industry but they must stick to the persona which their fans have come to love and adore.

Some actors and actresses are known for their glamour and sex appeal. Madhuri Dixit, Madhubala, Alia Bhatt, George Clooney, Ben Affleck and Sridevi all have Venus or Jupiter to thank for their good looks, sex appeal and glamourous persona. Aspiring actors and actresses who have Venus or Jupiter in commanding position should try glamour and sex appeal to get a career break in film or television industry.

Rahu is the only planet who makes one a fine actor. One who is not afraid of failures and would experiment and still be liked by masses. Amitabh Bachchan, Ayushyamann Khurana, Irrfan Khan, Kangana Ranaut, Aamir Khan, late Om Puri and Anupam Kher have Rahu to thank for wide variety of roles they are offered. They can take on wide variety of roles and truly excel as character artists. Aspiring actors who have Rahu influencing career house, ascendant or third house need to look for roles which challenge their acting talents. They may not always get success or fame and glamour that others get but they would be appreciated for their acting skills.

Above mentioned combinations alone cannot guarantee success in film, television and entertainment sector. One also needs a favorable vimshottari dasha period to enjoy stardom. For example Mr. Amitabh Bachchan got maximum success after start of his Saturn Dasha in August 1972. Ironically Zanjeer released in 1973. Shahrukh Khan got maximum success in Jupiter Dasha running between 1992 to 2008.
