I Don't See MS Dhoni: The Untold Story As A Film On Cricket: Anupam Kher
Anupam Kher played the role of Paan Singh Dhoni in the movie MS Dhoni: The Untold Story. The veteran actor recently talked about the movie in a candid chat.
He
told
IANS,
"The
first
thing
that
I
was
asked
to
do
was
to
lose
weight
as
Dhoni's
father
is
little
thinner
than
me.
So
I
lost
about
13-14
kg.
I
did
that
for
a
personal
reason
also
as
I
wanted
to
lose
weight.
Then
I
met
him
(Paan
Singh
Dhoni)
and
felt
like
he
is
as
simple
and
ordinary
as
my
own
father.
I
don't
see
'MS
Dhoni:
The
Untold
Story
as
a
film
on
cricket.
I
see
it
as
a
film
on
relationships
and
an
inspirational
story.
''Cricket is just a part in it. It shows how a small town boy goes through all the odds in life and becomes one of the finest cricketers in the world,'' he said.
"You can say -- it's a story of an ordinary father whose son becomes extraordinary. This was the best part for me," he added.
Anupam first came into the limelight with his role in 1984 film Saaransh and went on to star in films like Ram Lakhan, Daddy and 1942: A Love Story. His international credits include Bend It Like Beckham, Bride and Prejudice and Silver Linings Playbook.
His next Hollywood film is The Headhunter's Calling, for which he travelled to the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival last month.
Anupam said the response to the film, directed by Mark Williams, was "amazing".
"While introducing me on stage, my director called me one of the best actors in the world. Whenever I go to a film festival abroad and people say something like that, I feel I am representing my country. I was a proud Indian there,'' he said.
