Television superstar Ram Kapoor is
the heartthrob of millions. But what
the Bade Achhe Lagte Hain actor is
super excited about these days is a
film he has just signed!
Ram is doing a movie which will have
a couple of short stories, one of
which will be directed by filmmaker
Mira Nair; acclaimed for movies such
as Monsoon Wedding and The
Namesake.
"I have been a huge admirer of Mira
Nair's work for as long as I can
remember and it truly is a dream
come true to be working with her
again after Monsoon Wedding," says
Ram.
The actor who spends most of his
time shuttling between studios to
match grueling schedules of his
leading daily soap with select movies
that he portrays key roles in, is
scheduled to begin shooting with Nair
this week itself.
For the record, Nair has directed ten
narrative feature films as well as
several short films and
documentaries. Her work has been
recognized by the Cannes Film
Festival, the Venice Film Festival, the
Emmy Awards and the Golden Globes,
among others.
Earlier, she has also used the profits
of her Oscar-nominated debut movie
Salaam Bombay! to create the Salaam
Baalak Trust for India'a street
children.
