By
now,
the
news
has
spread
like
wild
fire
that
Anupam
Kher
plays
a
corpse
in
soon
to
be
released
Buddha
Mar
Gaya.
But
are
you
aware
that
he
is
not
the
first
actor
to
be
playing
a
corpse
for
a
major
part
of
a
film?
Ok,
so
it's
a
known
fact
that
years
back
in
Kundan
Shah's
classic
Jaane
Bhi
Do
Yaaron,
Satish
Shah
played
a
corpse
for
an
entire
second
half
of
the
film.
As
a
corrupt
government
officer
who
is
bumped
off
by
the
baddies,
Satish
Shah's
corpse
was
made
to
roam
around
an
entire
Mumbai
by
Om
Puri,
Naseeruddin
Shah,
Ravi
Vaswani
and
many
other
funny
characters
in
the
film.
What
is
not
known
is
that
very
recently
Shakti
Kapoor
also
enacted
a
similar
character!
The
film
was
Sanjay
Dutt-Saif
Ali
Khan
Nehlle
Pe
Dehlle
where
Shakti
played
a
comic
baddie
who
got
killed
but
was
required
to
be
kept
alive
by
Sanjay
and
Saif.
The
film
was
a
disaster
at
the
box
office
but
the
select
few
who
saw
it
had
wholesome
appreciation
for
Shakti
Kapoor
and
his
funny
antics
as
a
dead
man.
In
fact
one
couldn't
imagine
anyone
other
than
Shakti
Kapoor
to
be
able
to
carry
off
such
a
role.
His
3
decades
of
experience
worked
for
him
as
he
played
a
dead
man
quite
well
with
his
body
language
and
changing
facial
expressions
working
for
the
movie
in
a
big
way.
With
Satish
Shah
and
Shakti
Kapoor
having
a
great
time
as
dead
men,
one
expect
Anupam
Kher
to
be
following
suit
as
he
joins
the
funny
dead
world!
