Actor Sikander Kher, Anupam Kher’s son, is going all out to ensure he looks the best in his upcoming film – the directorial debut of Dev Patel. Sikandar Kher will be seen in Monkey Man and has put on 12 kg for his part in the film.
Fitness is a crucial part of an actor’s life these days. They need to look fit and fabulous if you may please. But then there are actors who give a role all they have, discarding myths about the ways an actor should look.
Speaking about his huge transformation Sikandar says, ”Monkey Man is the biggest opportunity being thrown at me. It is one step ahead to reach out to a completely new audience. I wanted to give it my all. My part in the film requires a bulky figure and I have worked very hard to alter my structure to suit the role. An actor is only as good as his films. That’s it.”
He adds, “Life’s thrown this huge opportunity towards me and I am working very hard to stay true to the character. My reel life characters have been very personal for me. I try to look like them, think like them, and act like them. It won’t be wrong to say I like to get under the skin of every role that comes my way. Obviously, the change is a gradual process but then I feel confident now, confident enough to tell you that my part in Monkey Man is who I am at the moment.”
