Unpredictable – Naseeruddin Shah About Pankaj Kapur

MUMBAI (ANI) – Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah shared his experience of working with Pankaj Kapur in the series ‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack’.

Praising the acting skills of Pankaj Kapur he said, “It is such a joy to work with him because he’s unpredictable and you know that this is a person who’s thoroughly done his preparation. And I also make it a point too, to be completely prepared. It’s like playing tennis where you envy his game, and you also respect it at the same time.”

Kapur also praised his co-actor and said, “Such kind words from somebody you deeply admire. When I’m working with him there’s a sixth sense within me which is always ready to learn, to see what he is up to, what new I can learn from him because that’s the kind of respect and awe I hold him in. He has said such beautiful words for me and I’m going to relish them for the years that are left for me.”

Kapur said he went through the 200-page-long script of the series. “I felt it was a very taut screenplay and a very well-written script, which is why I wanted to be a part of it,” he said.

He shared how it was to work with the director Anubhav Sinha, saying, “I have a kind of soft corner for this gentleman… And when I got to know that these are the actors who are going to be part of it, it was, as Naseer Sahib said, a pleasure to be among all of them,” Kapur added.
