Kher’s praise for the ‘Nayakan’ actor
Casting
On social media, Kher revealed he had imagined only Nassar for this character.
He wrote, “Even though #NasserSir is younger than me, it is because of his legendary film career that the ‘SIR’ comes out automatically when I am referring to him.”
“His acting graph and his list of films are an actor’s dream. Thevar Magan, Bombay, Anne Sivam, Nayakan, Bahubali…. I can go on and on.”
“He is an OUTSTANDING actor, highly respected and generous!”

Kher added, “Without listening to the details, he said he is doing the film. It is only when I shot with him on the first day that I narrated to him the script and his role in detail. He had tears in his eyes, and I had the character on the sets.”
