This morning veteran Indian actor Anupam Kher woke up to congratulations from his fans and co-stars including Robert De Niro.<\/strong> June 14 is not just another day in the life and career of the actor who has made his mark in Bollywood and Hollywood because he announced his 500th<\/sup> film, a significant milestone.<\/p>\n Anupam Kher\u2019s announcement about his upcoming Hollywood film titled The Big Sick<\/em> coincided with his actor-cum-politician wife Kiron Kher\u2019s birthday today.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The actor took to Twitter to share this news along with a congratulatory note from none other than Hollywood actor Robert De Niro who he had worked with in Silver Linings Playbook<\/em>, a 2013 Oscar winner. Robert De Niro said in a video clip,<\/strong> \u201cAnupam, I just want to say congratulations on finishing your 500th<\/sup> film. That\u2019s amazing! In America, maybe I have done 90 or 95 movies, but what you have done is incredible. Congratulations again!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Anupam Kher\u2019s 500th<\/sup> film The Big Sick<\/em> is really a big milestone in his acting career which picked up following the box office success of Saaransh<\/em><\/strong> in which the then 28-year-old Kher played a retired middle-class man and a bereaved father who lost his son in New York. Saaransh<\/em>, his second film, was also chosen as India\u2019s official entry to the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1984.<\/p>\n The Big Sick<\/em> also stars Holly Hunter whose The Piano<\/em> fetched the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1993<\/strong>, Ray Romano who won Emmy Awards twice for the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series Everybody Loves Raymond<\/em>, Kumail Nanjiani who is best known for his role in HBO\u2019s Emmy Award nominated series Silicon Valley, and Zoe Kazan, a Los Angeles based actor & playwright.<\/p>\n Anupam Kher was felicitated with honorary citizenship of Texas<\/a><\/span> in the US as a tribute to his performance in the theatre play ‘Mera Woh Matlab Nahi Tha<\/em>,’ which became a hit with the Indian Americans in Houston last year. – IndianEagle<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The National Film Award winning actor rightly said, \u201cIt has been a great journey\u201d since the release of his debut film Aagman<\/em> in 1982. He added,<\/strong><\/p>\n Doing 500 films in 32 years has been an awesome journey. It shows the kind of life I have had. I\u2019m happy that my 500th<\/sup> landmark film is a Hollywood<\/a><\/span> project. It\u2019s not that if it was a Hindi film, it would have not been important. But I have done a lot of work in Indian Cinema<\/a><\/span>, and now I am looking at newer avenues. It happened by chance that this film worked out around this time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
