Refreshing your memory, two prominent names in the Indian film industry, Kher and Bhatt, come together for the 1984 release, "Saaransh", which also happened to be Kher's debut as an actor.
He received a lot of praise for his portrayal as B.V. Pradhan - a 65-year-old grieving father, and went on to make a mark for himself as an actor.
Kher is also often seen sharing his views on various aspects of filmmaking and the industry in general.
During an exclusive interaction with IANS, Kher shed light on how regional films are reviving Indian stories overlooked by Bollywood.
When asked whether something exciting is taking place in the regional cinema, Kher shared that it is no longer just “regional” but has now turned into a pan-India cinema.
“First of all, it's not regional anymore. It has become a pan-India cinema. But the second thing is that I have worked in almost all the languages of India. Except one or two. Assamese, Gujarati, etc. They are much more organized because they are aspirational, wanting to be accepted by the whole world. And that's what COVID did. Covid showed us films that we didn't watch. Malayalam cinema, Telugu cinema, Tamil cinema, Bengali cinema," he said.
