The blind man that Anupam Kher plays in 'Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein' is all thanks to Boman Irani. Anupam Kher plays the character of a blind man in the upcoming film
Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein and interestingly the glasses that he sports in the film were gifted to him by his friend Boman Irani.
Anupam Kher reveals, "The story of these glasses started on the first day of the shoot of the film.
We all were ready for the first shot. But while I was approaching the sets in the elevator, a thought surpassed my mind that something is missing in my character, something is missing… then I went to director Pramod Joshi and whispered hesitantly in his ear that can I play a blind man?"
"Pramod was shocked as everything was ready for the shot. But I calmly explained him all the things which were in my mind and at last convinced him to make my character blind and took out the glasses in my pocket and gave my first shot. Thus my character of Benaam Kumar became blind spontaneously", says Kher.
"I thank Boman for those spectacles and helping me with his gift at the last moment which has been part of the film and my character. It just helped me in the nick of time", he smiles.
