De Niro didn’t think Carr belonged to the scene.
In a candid conversation with the Kopal podcast about Qisse, Sikandar Kher revealed the lessons he learned from his stepfather Anupam, particularly the importance of standing on the ground. Sikandar said, “Robert De Niro is my dad’s favorite. And he got the opportunity to work with him in the Silver Lining Playbook. And during the rehearsals, De Niro thought my dad shouldn’t be on the scene.”
This issue arose when De Niro felt that his character would not realistically allow Anupam’s characters to the house. At that point, Ampam decided to speak up despite its relatively unknown name in Hollywood. Sikandar said, “I felt that his character would not give my dad’s character in the house because he didn’t like him. He gave me a part of my heart. I asked Niro, ‘Bob?’ and De Niro said it was okay. ”
“He may have lost that part,” but not so.
Sikandar said, “My father is not there, he is from India. He could have lost that part. But he went there and did it and kept his pride in hand. That’s what I need to learn.” This moment became a lasting lesson in Sikandar’s courage and dignity.
This was not the first time Anupam had stood on his ground. Sikandar also spoke of a similar situation when his father was replaced without notice in Saaransh. Before leaving Mumbai, Anupam confronted director Mahesh Bhatt, and his passionate position won him the role.
Oscar’s glory and memorable role
Released in 2012 and directed by David O. Russell, the Silver Linings Playbook was a huge success. She won eight Academy Award nominations and won Best Actress Oscar Jennifer Lawrence. Anupam’s determination and performance stood out, but Anupam Kah was last seen in Turko Meli Kasam and is now set to return to director in his upcoming film, Tanvi the Great.
