Actor Anupam Kher’s first short film, a 29-minute flick titled I Went Shopping For Robert De Niro, is a tribute to his Oscar nominated co-star. The film, made under the banner of Actor Prepares (that’s also the name of Anupam’s acting school), is about two girls at the crossroads of their lives and what happens to them on a particular day when they go shopping for De Niro. The film has been scripted by Yamini Kshirsagar. “It is an interesting beginning for an acting-based production house to pay tribute to one of the greatest actors in the world, Robert De Niro, through the medium of cinema,” says Anupam. Apart from Yamini, who is also the lead actor, the film stars Rimal Arora. “It is a human story of hope,” says Anupam, who is all set to attend the Oscars later this month. Here’s wishing one of India’s finest actors a great directorial career.
