“Anupam Kher is a Hindi medium boy who made his mark in Hollywood”: Anil Kapoor

Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor called Anupam Kher ‘one of the biggest risk takers of our industry!’ Anil finds Anupam to be an inspiration and a role model for everyone who dares to dream. For Anil, the fact that Anupam, despite being a Hindi medium boy crossed over and worked with the biggest directors and actors in Hollywood is a testament to his hunger and drive to make a mark on world cinema!

Anil says, “Anupam Kher has been one of the biggest risk takers of our industry. He is the joker in the pack, a chameleon who can do anything. I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Anupam and he is truly one of the best actors to have come out of India. Period.”

He adds, “That fact that a Hindi medium boy managed to cross over and make his mark in Hollywood is a testament of his hunger to make a mark, to make his family proud with his work. He has worked with the biggest and the best directors in India and the world.”

Anil Kapoor wants Anupam Kher’s upcoming streaming release on Netflix, Vijay 69 to become a roaring hit globally! Vijay 69 is produced by YRF Entertainment and it marks YRF’s fourth collaboration with Netflix after The Romantics, The Railway Men & Maharaj.

He says, “Vijay 69 is a testament of his hard work, his genius as an actor. At 69 Anupam is still hungry for work and appreciation and that’s inspiring to me as well. He is supremely disciplined, lives life to the fullest, is well read, funny and a great friend!”

Anil and Anupam have been friends for years and they bond on fitness big time! The two hit the gym and egged each other on to push their bodies more while working out. Catch their work out images here:

Anil says, “I love that he is into fitness which is a common ground for us and I loved working out with him as we pushed each other in the gym. At 69, Anupam is a young boy at heart and trust me he can push himself at the gym too!”
