Mumbai:
Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah said that his co-star Kalki Koechlin from the upcoming movie Waiting is perfect to play the role.
Directed by Anu Menon, Waiting features Mr Shah as an old-school Philosophy professor while Kalki, 32, plays an advertising professional.
"The thought of working with Kalki was delicious and I have to say she is utterly fantastic. She was absolutely the right choice for this part," he said in a statement. The film chronicles the story of both the characters who grapple with grief.
Shiv (Mr Shah) and Tara (Kalki) strike an unlikely friendship when they meet each other in a hospital while nursing their respective comatose spouses.
The Ishqiya star has earlier worked with Kalki in the Anurag Kashyap-directed That Girl in Yellow Boots.
Waiting is scheduled to release on May 27.
