‘I can’t play Dhoni’ - Anupam Kher
Mumbai: Anupam Kher has been seen in a wide range of acclaimed films, but the veteran actor tells us that he often picks certain roles just because he likes to be associated with certain people. His next film, Jazbaa (Aishwarya Rai’s comeback project), is one of those. “It isn’t the greatest of roles that I’ve performed. It’s just that I haven’t worked with Sanjay Gupta for 18 years now. It is also Aishwarya’s comeback to the movies, so I decided to do it,”
Anupam says. “Similarly I did Happy New Year and Dabangg more for the people in the films. I used to be a regular in Karan Johar, Yash Chopra and Subhash Ghai films because I enjoy working with them.” Anupam will also be seen in Neeraj Pandey’s Baby. Having been part of all of Neeraj’s films, will he star in the Dhoni biopic too? “I can’t play Dhoni!” Anupam laughs. “Maybe I could be his father or coach.”
