Anupam Kher He started his film career in the 1980s Mahesh Bhatt‘Saaransh’ is and remains one of his most memorable roles. Thus, he still follows a ritual to express his gratitude to Bhatt, whom he considers his “guru”. In a recent interview, Anupam revealed that he gives Bhatt Rs 25,000 after every film, a tradition that started with just Rs 500 and gradually increased over the years.Kher was also asked if he would like to see any of his 550 films in a remake. He shared that he would love to reimagine ‘Saaransh’ as an action film. “I want to do Saaransh 2 as an actor. I spoke to Mahesh Bhatt a month ago. I told Bhatt saab, ‘I really want to do action because I am working on myself.’ I show my body at the risk of being laughed at. I feel very happy. I would like my character to save people through action. Like in Taken, so I want to do something like that,” he said in an interview in Pinkvilla. Recalling how the ritual of paying his ‘guru’ started, Anupam shared, “He gave me my first break, then I would give him Rs 250 per film. Now it’s Rs 25,000. He says this is a result of inflation. Rs 250 Rs 500 Rs 1000 Rs 1000 Rs 1000. Last week he gave him an envelope. Now he has an envelope and knows how much is in it. It’s a comedy.”The actor had earlier spoken about a dramatic moment during the making of Saaransh when Bhatt replaced him with Sanjeev Kumar. In an interview with ANI, Anupam revealed that he spent months preparing for the role before learning that days before the shoot, it was called off. Devastated, she decides to leave Mumbai, but not before confronting Bhatt.“I took a taxi to his house, and I went up the stairs. He praised me for taking the news in a sportive way, but I told him to look out his window and see the car that was there. He had all my stuff, and I told him before I left that I wanted to tell him what a scam it is… he recalled.With Kher’s passion and determination, Bhatt changed his mind and took it in his film.
