Gulshan Grover was initially hesitant about Kalam

Theactor plays lover-boy in the film and those who have seen early previews of thefilm say that Bollywood’s veteran baddie (who plays a good guy in thisflick) shares a “heartwarming yet hilarious” romance with Frenchactress Beatrice Ordeix in I Am Kalam.While this won’t be the first time he has been paired with an international face — Katrina Kaif famously played his love interest in her screen debut Boom — it certainly won’t be his last, either (he is rumoured to be cast opposite Salma Hayek in a Hollywood film).Gulshan has been appreciated for hisrestrained, real and natural performance in I Am Kalam. He is the film’sflag-bearer in Hollywood and the likes of Goldie Hawn, Steven Segal, SharonStone, Pamela Anderson, Bill Duke, Marry Parent (chairperson, MGM) haveappreciated the film and his work in it. But the biggest reward came in theform of advice from his son Sanjay Grover, an executive with MGM, “Dad,you must do more films like I Am Kalam.” We’ll second that!
