Anupam says Chopra, Johar stop offering roles

Anupam Kher, recently talked about his absence from mainstream Hindi films. Despite basking in the success of ‘The Kashmir Files’ followed by his latest release ‘Karthikeya 2’, Anupam said he stopped getting offers from big banners under Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra and Sajid Nadiadwala, reports Hindustan Times.

Recalling the old days, Anupam said that although he used be their ‘darling’, however, things have changed for unknown reasons.

During an interview, Anupam told Times Now, “I am not a part of mainstream cinema in India today. I am not. I am not doing any Karan Johar film, I am not doing any Sajid Nadiadwala film, I am not doing any Aditya Chopra film because the offers have not come. I was a darling of all these people. I have done everybody’s films. But I am not blaming them for not casting me anymore. But because they were not casting me in their films, I found a path where I did a Tamil film called Connect, I did a Telugu film called Tiger Nageswara Rao. I have also done Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai.”

Talking about how he rediscovered his love for the craft, he added, “Otherwise I could have sat down and said, ‘Who were once my friends are now ignoring me and not offering films. It pains, hurts because I used to work with them. But, it’s not a complaint & neither am I holding it against them. I am just saying that sometimes when one door shuts, so many other windows and doors open.” The actor will be next seen in Sooraj Bar
