Playing Manmohan Singh most difficult role of my career: Anupam Kher
Mumbai
April 25, 2018
Industry veteran Anupam Kher, whose career has spanned over
three decades and over 500 films, says playing the role of former Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh has been the most difficult one in his career.
Anupam
spoke to the media on the sidelines of the the Master Deenanath Mangeshkar
Smruti Pratishthan Awards 2018 held here on Tuesday.
Asked whether he has
completed shooting of ambitious film "The Accidental Prime Minister", Kher said:
"No... Only 40 per cent of the film shoot has been completed. I have studied the
character of Manmohan Singh for four months and it is the most difficult role
that I have done. I hope the audience will see his journey on-screen really
soon.
A video of Anupam in the midst of the film's shoot was met with
appreciation for how well the actor has tried to mould his walk and demeanour to
match Singh's distinct style.
At the awards ceremony, Anupam received a
special honour for his contribution to Indian theatre and cinema.
"I have
come straight here only to receive this award from England after completing my
shooting (schedule) for 'The Accidental Prime Minister'. I am really honoured
and fortunate to receive this award.
"The kind of contribution that the
Mangeshkar family has in the world of music is really unbelievable. They have
not only won our hearts with their music, but with voices of Mangeshkar sisters,
they have united the nation and that is their achievement. It's a great feeling
to receive an honour by them."
Anupam dedicated the award to youngsters
from rural parts of India.
"Whenever I receive an award for my work, it
motivates me to do even better. I always say that it s not my lifetime
achievement award because I feel like I have started my career just now. This
award I have dedicated to youngsters from rural parts of India who come here (to
Mumbai) and work hard towards achieving success.
"I just want to advice
them that if a boy like me who was son of clerk from forest department of Shimla
can receive this award, then they can also achieve many things in their life."
