Mumbai:
Veteran actor Anupam Kher's sonSikander may not have had a successful run at the box officeso far, but the father hopes the young actor becomes aspopular as his contemporaries.
So far, Sikandar's journey in B-town has not been smooth.His films -- Summer 2007, Woodstock Villa and Khele HumJee Jaan Sey all failed to garner attention at thebox-office.
"I would love for him to be as busy and popular as hiscontemporaries, but he is taking it very well and is excitedabout his new film. I think he has an amazing role in TereBin Laden part 2," Anupam told PTI.
"I think certain things happen at a time... I have faithin him. Can you imagine if he was non talented and yet wantedto be an actor? That would've been a nightmare. Now its amatter of time," he added.
Anupam reveals they do talk and discuss about films and heoften gives him suggestion."It (suggestion) doesn't happen over dining table ithappens on a normal conversation when I feel this is how itshould be," he said.
Though, the 58-year-old has liked his son's work, he isaware that the films did not do well at the box office."He himself is brilliant. I say it with great pride butunfortunately in our business success is more important thanbeing brilliant but I am sure it will follow. If there'sa possibility where I can produce a film (for him) I wouldlove to," he adds.
Meanwhile, Kher is quite kicked up about his stint onsmall screen with Anil Kapoor's much talked about show '24'.And the prime reason for him to give a nod for this show washis friendship with Kapoor.
"I play a RAW agent Wasim Khan. It is a two episode rolethat I have in this season. Anil called me and said there's arole I want you to do. So there was no questioning about it. Ihope he reciprocates the same way when one day I call him todo a role for me. 24 is a series which I am an admirer of,"Anupam said.
The national award winning actor feels 24 will be agame changer for small screen."This will be a game-changer because it respects thesensibility of the audience. I also feel that we have moved toanother level of television. From Doordarshan, we went tosatellite channel from there we went to a certain kind ofshows and then reality shows. Now this fiction show has greatpossibility of doing very well," he added.
Earlier, Kher did a show on TV called Say Na Something ToAnupam Uncle and he says he would love to do that show againas today kids are completely different.
"When I did the show earlier I knew the psyche of thechildren. But not anymore so it could be challenging for me.As today the child knows how to operate smart phone,computers, what is going on in his mind and how muchinformation does translate into knowledge would be veryinteresting to find out," he said.
"The children today are also very independent. What thechild says today at the age of 7 is something I hadn't thoughtof till the age of 20-21, he adds.
