Mumbai: Veteran actor Anupam Kher says his upcoming feature Shiv Shastri Balboa is a special film as it gave him the opportunity to play a title role after being around in showbiz for over three decades. Directed by Ajayan Venugopalan, the movie is billed as a fascinating tale of survival of an Indian in a small town in America.
Kher, who co-stars with Neena Gupta in Shiv Shastri Balboa, said he is happy for the both of them to have received the opportunity to finally shoulder a film. "Neena and I have been doing so much work for years. Now, we have got this recognition. Earlier, I would have a small face on a poster of a film. Now, after 38 years in the movie business I am on the main poster with my heroine. That is a great achievement."
"All this you can achieve with hard work and not necessarily (with) stardom. In my 37 years of career, there are many people who came and went, but we are still here," the actor, known for Saraansh, Karma, and The Kashmir Files, told reporters here on Tuesday evening. He was speaking at the trailer launch of Shiv Shastri Balboa.
