Anupam
Kher's
forthcoming
movie
on
terrorism,
Baby,
is
just
days
before
the
country
celebrates
Republic
Day
and
ahead
of
US
President
Barack
Obama's
India
visit.
The
veteran
actor
says
the
movie's
release
couldn't
have
been
better
timed.
"Baby
is
releasing
at
a
perfect
time
as
it's
Republic
Day
and
US
President
Barack
Obama
is
visiting
India
to
meet
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi-ji
to
talk
about
(things
including)
terrorism.
Baby
is
also
awakening
people
about
the
same
issue,
and
talks
about
how
we
can
all
deal
with
this
big
issue
together," Anupam.
Directed
by
Neeraj
Pandey
of
A
Wednesday
and
Special
26
fame,
the
movie
stars
Akshay
Kumar
in
the
lead
role
of
an
undercover
agent.
Anupam,
who
has
worked
in
all
of
Pandey's
films
so
far,
says
the
experience
of
collaborating
with
him
is
"always
very
special".
"He
comes
up
with
the
most
amazing
themes
and
his
own
stamp
of
brilliance.
So
whether
it
was
A
Wednesday
and
Special
26,
both
the
characters
(I
played)
were
very
different.
"Similarly,
my
role
as
Om
Prakash
Shukla
in
Baby
is
very
meaty
and
an
exciting
role
of
an
undercover
agent.
He
is
the
technical
support
to
the
field
members
of
the
unit
named
Baby.
The
film
is
about
patriotism,
it's
about
terrorism
and
how
to
deal
with
it...how
it
affects
our
lives.
"Baby
is
about
the
unknown
faces
of
so
many
undercover
agents,
who
play
a
very
important
role
in
unification
of
the
country,"
added
the
59-year-old.
Talking
about
his
co-star
Akshay,
he
said:
"Baby
is
Akshay's
life's
best
performance.
I
don't
think
anybody
could
have
played
the
lead
better
than
him.
He
is
improving
with
every
film.
It's
an
international
level
performance
by
him."
