Mumbai: Anupam Kher made his Bollywood debut at the age of 29, with an award-winning performance in ‘Saaransh’ as a 65-year-old retired teacher who loses his son.
Thirty-eight years down the line in what has been an illustrious career, Kher is in no mood to call it quits. Even as he basks in the success of ‘The Kashmir Files’, Kher, now 67, has started shooting for his 523rd film – titled ‘IB71’.
