Anupam Kher to star in an India-Pakistan co-production

Anupam Kher is all set to star in Shashi Ranjan’s comedy called Mungeri Rocks, which is an India-Pakistan co-production.

Kher is unfazed by the fact that the role was first offered to Boman Irani .

‘‘Every role has its own destiny. I was supposed to play Mogambo in Mr. India until Amrish Puri stepped in,’’ said Kher.

‘‘I’m going through a very exciting phase where I’m doing plum roles in small films. Boman, Naseer, Om, and me are eligible for similar roles. But I don’t see us as interchangeable. If Naseer does a Parzania , I do a Khosla Ka Ghosla . We’re all well-positioned in our respective careers,’’ said Anupam.

Kher has just completed a laugh riot called Victoria 203 where he teams up with Om Puri . He next joins Om’s closest peer Naseeruddin Shah to do a thriller called Wednesday with new director Neeraj Pathak. And then, Kher is to do his first play on screen, 'Karodon Mein Ek'.

Said Kher, ‘‘Many years ago, I had seen a play by Makarand Deshpande called 'Karodon Mein Ek'. And now I have the chance to do the film version that Makarand will direct. The minute it was offered to me I accepted. It’s the role of a man with multiple personality disorders.’’

With his experience in theatre, Kher hopes to combine theatre and cinema in his performance.
