“Actor Prepares is happy to collaborate with KASHISH for the fifth consecutive year. Good cinema is Art, it is entertainment, it is also a medium for social change. It is important that independent filmmakers who work with limited budgets and little resources with the sole focus to make good cinema be encouraged,” said International actor and Chairman of Actor Prepares, Anupam Kher.

On the work front, Anupam Kher will be seen in two international shows. One is NBC’s new medical drama New Amsterdam and other is BBC’s drama Mrs Wilson.
