After
his
brilliant
performance
in
Maine
Gandhi
Ko
Nahi
Maara,
comes
another
film
with
Anupam
Kher
in
an
author
backed
role.
Khosla
Ka
Ghosla.
Tell
us
about
Khosla
Ka
Ghosla.
Khosla
Ka
Ghosla
is
about
middle
class
aspirations
of
Indian
families,
middle
class
dreams,
intricacies
of
an
idiotic
mind,
some
nice
minds,
relationships
between
the
families,
wanting
to
be
big,
trying
to
make
hay
while
the
sun
shines.
Apart
from
that
it
is
also
about
the
ordinariness
of
the
middle
class
man.
Khosla
is
an
ordinary
man
and
all
his
life
he
spent
in
an
ordinary
manner
and
by
the
end
of
it
he
has
been
very
happy
to
buy
a
plot
of
land
outside
Delhi
in
Gurgaon
and
now
his
whole
life
is
concentrated
on
that.
How
will
he
make
a
house
on
that
land,
what
will
he
do,
where
will
be
the
bathroom,
the
kitchen,
sons
room,
daughters
room,
will
there
be
a
parking
space
too
for
a
scooter
or
for
a
big
car,
so
basically
Khosla
has
suddenly
has
big
things
to
think
about.
And
how
a
political
tout
grabs
that
land
on
the
day
of
the
Bhoomi
Pooja
and
how
the
family
gets
the
land
back
is
basically
the
premise
of
Khosla
Ka
Ghosla.
You
play
an
author
backed
role
in
the
film.
How
does
it
feel?
Well
I
have
done
author
backed
roles
earlier
also,
but
what
is
great
about
this
is
that
it
is
a
story
of
an
ordinary
man.
When
I
did
Saraansh,
Daddy
or
Maine
Gandhi
Ko
Nahi
Maara,
they
were
always
characters
who
had
inner
strengths
or
inner
weaknesses
which
had
some
kind
of
behavioral
pattern
in
them.
Khosla
is
a
completely
ordinary
man.
There
is
no
quality
in
him.
No
great
quality,
no
weaknesses,
he
is
just
an
ordinary
monotonous
man.
I
think
to
portray
an
ordinary
and
monotonous
man
is
the
most
difficult
thing
as
an
actor
because
an
actor
always
looks
for
clutches,
looks
for
things
so
that
he
can
sort
of
use
them
and
enhance
his
acting.
But
to
be
Khosla
was
one
the
biggest
challenges
for
me
as
an
actor
because
you
have
to
be
Khosla.
You
cannot
say
I
will
borrow
some
parts
from
my
previous
character.
I
have
seen
a
Khosla
in
millions
of
people
across
the
country.
You
will
find
such
people
all
over
the
country.
Khosla
is
a
story
about
a
family
in
Karol
Bagh
in
Delhi
but
it
can
happen
in
Goregaon
in
Mumbai,
it
can
happen
in
Jamnagar,
it
can
happen
in
Rajasthan,
Bihar,
Karnataka,
just
anywhere.
How
was
it
working
with
Boman
Irani?
It
was
my
first
meeting
with
Boman.
Boman
says
he
was
very
nervous.
He
says
he
has
been
seeing
my
movies
for
the
last
20
years.
But
when
you
meet
actors
you
meet
them
on
the
same
platform.
Boman
had
a
lot
of
experience
in
theater
and
he
is
a
very
fine
actor
and
a
very
fine
human
being.
He
has
done
Khurana's
role
exceptionally
well.
Let
me
say
Khurana
enhances
Khosla's
performance.
It
was
a
joy
working
with
him.
People
love
seeing
you
onscreen.
Why
is
it
that
over
the
past
few
years
you
are
seen
rarely?
I
have
done
about
322
films
in
the
last
22
years.
I
need
to
feel
excited
about
the
character
I
am
portraying
because
if
I
am
excited
about
something,
I
will
make
the
audience
feel
excited
about
it.
I
used
to
do
22-23
films
a
year.
Now
I
do
4-5
films
a
year
because
I
like
to
concentrate
and
make
the
best
out
of
the
roles
I
am
doing.
I
am
happy.
I
run
an
acting
school.
I
give
some
time
there.
I
am
in
the
process
of
writing
my
script.
I
am
enjoying
the
space
I
am
getting.
Whenever
your
acting
is
critically
acclaimed
while
playing
an
author
backed
role,
you
succeed
as
an
actor
but
the
box
office
result
varies.
Why
is
it
so?
I
don't
think
I
have
to
worry
about
the
box
office.
There
is
a
contradiction
in
your
question.
You
say
that
I
performed
well
and
movie
was
good,
that
is
all
I
need.
You
may
have
the
biggest
box
office
actors
but
their
films
may
not
necessarily
do
well.
You
also
have
films
where
there
are
horrible
performances
but
the
film
is
a
big
hit.
My
job
is
to
carry
on
with
the
work
and
do
it
as
honestly
I
can
and
put
my
hard
work
in
it.
I
don't
think
I
can
act
according
to
the
box-office
result.
It
is
not
in
my
hands.
Thank
god
it
is
in
the
hands
of
the
audience.
I
meet
people
on
the
streets
and
they
tell
me
they
love
my
acting
and
that
is
what
matters
to
me.
You
play
a
dwarf
in
Jaan-E-Mann.
How
did
you
manage
it?
Jaan-e-Mann
has
been
the
most
difficult
roles
of
my
career.
To
play
a
dwarf
when
you
are
actually
5'10",
it
is
the
most
difficult
thing
in
the
world.
I
took
it
up,
I
thought
I
will
manage
it
but
I
did
not
know
that
my
own
weight
on
my
own
knees
is
going
to
be
difficult.
But
if
you
want
to
achieve
something
you
have
to
go
through
the
pain
and
the
trauma.
When
I
finished
the
dubbing
of
the
film
and
when
I
saw
the
teaser,
I
felt
that
it
was
all
worth
it.
It
is
a
fantastic
piece
of
acting
that
any
actor
could
have
dreamt
about.
I
am
very
happy
that
I
did
Jaan-E-Mann.
Maine
Gandhi
Ko
Nahi
Maara
was
a
fantastic
film.
Fantastic
acting.
But
does
it
pinch
when
the
box
office
result
is
not
up
to
the
mark?
One
does
feel
bad
about
it.
My
purpose
of
the
film
was
to
get
great
honor
to
the
film
and
see
if
I
get
my
money
back.
I
got
my
money
back
and
the
film
was
loved
by
all.
The
film
has
not
made
me
a
rich
man
but
I
never
intended
to
become
rich
by
this
film.
I
wanted
to
be
richer
as
a
person
which
I
feel
I
have
managed
to.
Are
you
happy
with
Sikander
Kher's
launch
pad?
Any
actor
should
work
hard
for
his
launch
and
get
his
place
in
the
son.
Sikander
has
done
that.
I
am
sure
he
will
work
very
hard.
What
about
Gandhi
Park?
Gandhi
Park
is
a
film
being
made
by
Tom
George
and
it
is
a
brilliant
script.
We
will
start
the
shoot
soon.
There
will
be
an
official
announcement
for
the
same
soon
and
you
will
get
more
details.
