Also the reason to get behind it? Yes, he nods, it8217;s about the freedom one misses as an actor many times, especially if he is from theatre. But then quot;More often than not, I do manage to have my way. I think I can really persuade people. But really, you also can8217;t ask for variety all the time. At the end, you get back to the staple daal-roti.quot; Which explains his penchant for the comic, a forte here. Anyone taking life seriously looks highly comical to me. How about just enjoying, having plain fun, without the double entendre for crutches! We badly need good comedy writers in the industry,8221; he trails off.
From the saaraansh of struggle that left no option but to make it big, to a spate of films in excitingly diverse roles of Prem of Lamhe and the always-in-conflict Daddy, Anupam still can8217;t have enough of it. quot;I still get excited when interviewed, I love autograph hunters!quot; he gushes. Acting, after all, hands you down a chance to travel beyond yourself. You are born with one facet and acting helps you live so many lives. It8217;s exciting to get a chance to be a different person.quot; But the best, he says, remains. Kher feels he has given just 30 of what he can give.
As he rattles off on his forthcoming films like Dulhan Hum le Jaayenge, Kya Kehna, Refugee.... besides the two scripts he will direct, there isn8217;t missing the spark. Of playing on. The comedy of life and living.
Now, did we say cheers to that!
