Anupam
Kher
will
soon
be
making
a
film
based
on
events
in
his
own
life.
The
actor-producer's
new
protege
Neeraj
Pandey
who's
also
scripting
Anupam's
second
directorial
venture
Dosti
Badi
Cheez
Hai
is
working
out
the
modalities
of
making
the
actor's
eventful
journey
from
Shimla
to
Bollywood
into
a
movie
featuring
Anupam
in
lead.
This
would
be
a
rare
Indian
film
where
the
protagonist
would
star
in
his
own
story.
"It
won't
be
so
difficult
for
Neeraj
to
direct
a
film
on
my
life," says
Anupam
who's
getting
ready
to
be
seen
as
a
dead
man
in
Rahul
Rawail's
comedy
Buddha
Mar
Gaya.
"Neeraj
has
a
ready
reference
point
in
me.
Not
too
many
directors
get
to
make
autobiographical
films
starring
the
subject
of
the
autobiography.
Neeraj
also
has
my
long-running
play
Kuch
Bhi
Ho
Sakta
Hai
to
refer
back
to."
There's
just
one
hitch.
The
title
Kuch
Bhi
Ho
Sakta
Hai
has
been
registered
by
playwright
Feroz
Abbas
Khan
as
his
legal
property.
Shrugs
Anupam.
"That's
sad.
Because
a
film
based
on
my
play
without
the
title
Kuch
Bhi
Ho
Sakta
is
unimaginable
to
me
or
to
the
thousands
who
have
watched
the
play.
However
it
doesn't
matter.
We'll
give
our
film
another
title."
Interestingly,
Anupam
won't
be
the
first
actor
to
make
a
one-character
film
on
his
life.
In
1964
Sunil
Dutt
made
the
ultra-experimental
Yaadein
based
on
his
own
marriage
to
Nargis.
Would
Anupam's
autobiographical
film
have
other
characters,
or
would
it
be
a
one-character
vehicle
like
the
play?
"It
will
be
as
true
to
my
life
as
the
play,
even
if
we
change
the
title,"
says
Anupam
tongue
firmly
in
cheek.
