The actor also adds that meeting Mother Teresa is close to divinity Veteran actor
Anupam Kher has taken up a role in Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein by the Sai Prasad Group. This movie has been directed by Pramod Gajanan Joshi and also stars Sachin Khedekar, Atul Parchure and Mrunal Kulkarni. The film has music by Dr. Salil Kulkarni on the lyrics of Sandeep Khare, while Salil Sahasrabuddhe is the cinematographer.
In fact, Anupam Kher was shooting in Pune for the film when on an impulse, he suddenly announced he had to leave for Delhi to join Anna Hazare's fast-unto-death at the Jantar Mantar. Everyone at the shooting thought there was a family emergency. Kher cancelled all his other engagements for Anna Hazare. He said he felt the cause to save the nation was far more important than his own personal activities. "Screen pe leader aur neta bahut ban ke dekh liya. I wanted to feel alive by being close to a real crusader.
Anna Hazare is a god-sent saviour," the actor said emotionally. "The only time I felt so close to divinity was when I met Mother Teresa."
