Anupam plays an Alzheimer patient

I‘ve done some difficult scenes in my life but the climax sequence of Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Maara was the toughest scene of my life,” says Anupam Kher.
Kher plays a man stricken with Alzheimer’s and he had to express Gandhian thoughts in his exceptional psychological state. “The speech couldn’t be too heavy considering the character I play has Alzheimer’s,” says Kher.“I had to keep my speech pretty basic and express them like a man who has lost his capacity to remember things.”
Kher had to undertake a lot of research for his role in the film since he did not want to confuse the symptoms of Alzheimer’s with Parkinson’s. “The courtroom finale in Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Maara is my most researched scene till date.
I didn’t play the man as a textbook example of Alzheimer’s .I wanted to internalise the man’s trauma,” reveals the actor.
The three-page monologue at the end of the film was done in a single take, making it the toughest Kher had ever shot.
“The fact that it was my home production gave me the courage to try something so audacious,” admits Kher.
