Mumbai, Oct 9 (IANS) Veteran actor Anupam Kher shared a collage of three distinct characters RabindranathTagore, Mahatma Gandhi and Manmohan Singh, proving his acting prowess.
Anupam took to Instagram, where he shared a monochrome collage featuring pictures of RabindranathTagore, Mahatma Gandhi and Manmohan Singh he has played on screen.
“Three Characters- One Actor! Teen kirdar – ek kalakar!! Kabhi kabhi khud ko aur kuch doosre logon ko bhi apni kabilit ka ehsaas karate rehna chahiye! Achha lagta hai! Jai ho! (Three characters – one artist!! Sometimes, you should remind yourself and others of your abilities! Feels really good! Hail to that!).”
Anupam played Tagore in his 538rd film titled Agniyug: The Fire, directed by Biswajit Chatterjee. He then went on to essay the role of Mahatma Gandhi in 2025 film The Bengal Files, directed by Vivek Agnihotri.

“Namaste friends, what I want to share with you, I want to share with you that I believe in second chances a lot. In life, second chances are sometimes better than the first chance. Many people may not know that life gave me a second chance before I came into the film career.”
Talking about the film, it features Jackie Shroff, Arvind Swami, Boman Irani, Pallavi Joshi, Karan Tacker, Nasser, with Anupam Kher and Iain Glen.
