New Delhi, Feb 9 : Having done 400 films in a span of nearly 30 years, veteran actor Anupam Kher is staying away from the big screen. He says it is sometimes important to stay away from the cameras and lights to make one's presence felt.
"People ask me these days why I am not so prominently visible on screen. But I feel in life, a time comes when you don't feel like running after work. After doing 400 films, I feel contented. Sometimes it becomes important to make your presence felt with your absence; that is what I am doing now," Anupam told IANS in an interview.
The Padma Shri awardee arrived in Bollywood with his powerful performance in "Saaransh". From villain to funny guy to character roles, he has a variety of performances under his belt in his nearly three-decade-long career.
If he scared people as a ruthless villain in "Karma" (1986) and "Hum", he made them emotional with "Daddy" (1989), "Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara" and "Khosla Ka Ghosla" (2007). He even entertained fans by playing lighthearted characters in "Lamhe" (1991), "Shola Aur Shabnam" (1992), "Darr" (1993) and "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" (1995).
But nowadays the 55-year-old is not doing too many films. "Experience teaches a lot. After a long journey one becomes selective by default. In the urge to try and do different roles, one becomes an expert at sorting between the good and the okay roles."w
But what keeps him busy?I keep myself busy wThe music label has just released the sound-tracks of two upcoming Tamil movies "Engeyum Kaadhal" and "KO". While "KO" is an action movie starring Jeeva, "Engeyum Kaadhal" is a romantic movie that features Jayaram Ravi and Hansika Motwani.
