Anupam Kher has done five-hundred-and-ten films in a career spanning over 35 years. That\u2019s more than enough for him to be tagged a veteran, but he\u2019s not ready for it. The 62-year-old is happy being recognised as a versatile actor, and \u201cexploring all kinds of roles and mediums\u201d is what he aims for.<\/p>\n
Kher recently began shooting for his yet-to-be-titled 511th film in Ranchi, and says, \u201cThere\u2019s just so much work to do these days. I\u2019ve been getting a lot of good work as I get older, and I don\u2019t want to stop. That\u2019s why I stop people from calling me a veteran or a thespian or a legend. I feel awkward… I want to do more.\u201d<\/p>\n
The actor values content more than anything else, even in big-budget multi-starrer projects. Kher, who has been part of films such as Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (1995), Mohabbatein (2000) and Happy New Year (2014), says, \u201cI love being part of big-budget films, but not for the sake of them being commercial films. I don\u2019t want to be a part of a big-budget film in which my role doesn\u2019t do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the reason why he loves to work in smaller films. \u201cI\u2019m proud to have done a Khosla Ka Ghosla (2006), and A Wednesday (2008). Neeraj Pandey was making his debut [as a director] with [A Wednesday], so it wasn\u2019t that big a film. I\u2019m proud to have done such projects,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
