Houston, Jun 14: Actor Anupam Kher has reached yet another milestone in his illustrious acting career by signing up another Hollywood film "The Big Sick", which happens to be his 500th film.Anupam-Kher

The 61-year-old actor, who started his career 32 years back with award winning movie "Saaransh", will be sharing screen space with Hollywood actors Holly Hunter, Zoe Kazan, Ray Romano, Kumail Nanjiani and Adeel Akhtar among others.

Judd Apatow is producing the film based off Nanjiani and Gordon's own relationship as a Pakistani-born man and a American woman.

Kher is playing the role of Kumail Nanjiani's father. Romano and Hunter will be essaying Kazan's character's parents.

Nanjiani is a Pakistani-American stand-up comedian, actor and podcast host married to Emily V Gordon, an author, comedy producer, and former couples and family therapist. She is the booker and producer of "The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail", a comedy show that began airing on Comedy Central in July 2014

Barry Mendel is also producing the project, which is being financed by FilmNation.
Kher, who is in New York these days, told PTI over phone about his 500th movie.

"Doing 500 films in 32 years has been an awesome journey. It shows the kind of life I have had. I'm happy that my 500th landmark film is a Hollywood project. It's not that if it was a Hindi film, it would have not been important. But I have done a lot of work in Hindi cinema, and now I am looking at newer avenues. It happened by chance that this film worked out around this time."

Kher shared a You Tube message by veteran Hollywood actor Robert De Niro, congratulating him on his 500th film. "Congratulations for finishing your 500th film, it is an amazing thing to do. In America i have done 95 movies, but doing 500 is incredible", said De Niro.

Mumbai, Jan 9: Actor Juhi Chawla on Wednesday said instead of constantly criticising the government, one should reflect on own conduct and talk about uniting rather than dividing.

The actor attended an event which aimed to counter "Free Kashmir (narrative), anti-India slogans, false propaganda and clear the misconception."

Juhi said as artistes, it's unfair to be questioned about incidents "just for a reaction" when they should be given time to truly understand the situation.

"We are going to work, thinking how to execute our task, then some incident happens somewhere and suddenly the media asks, 'what do you think about this?' We haven't understood the matter, people haven't understood the matter but you need a reaction.

"Let people understand, whether it's NRC or CAA, and what's is it about, why is this being talked about," Juhi told reporters.

The actor said it is sad that people talk about division more than unity.

"Everyone is quick to talk about dividing. Why don't we talk about uniting? Why does everyone say 'what is the government doing, why is it doing this?' but I say if you point one finger there then three fingers are at you.
