Strange. Quoting: I did not want to do it in a cliche manner; I wanted it to be realistic. We did not want to have a blind man with a stick; this man is full of life-- happy and smiling," Anupam Kher said.

The film, directed by Pramod Joshi, marks Anupam Kher's debut in Marathi cinema. "When you play the role of a differently abled person then you discover how brilliantly they live their lives. This is a tribute to all the blind or visually impaired people...hope everyone would like it," he told reporters at the music launch of the film here . It was Anupam Kher who at the last minute suggested that his character in the film should be blind. "Everything was difficult as I had not done preparation for the role which was decided at the last minute. I did not want to do it in a cliche manner; I wanted it to be realistic. We did not want to have a blind man with a stick; this man is full of life-- happy and smiling," Anupam Kher said. "In the film, I play the role of a person who talks about vision but is blind. I took this decision of playing blind character just minutes before I started shooting. We intend to spread the message that one should live life to the fullest," the award winning actor said. The 56-year-old Bollywood veteran depended on his director for getting nuances of the Marathi language. "I am doing a Marathi film for the first time. I am not that good with the language but my director was a very good coach and he guided me well. I understand Marathi but I am not that good at speaking the language," he said. - PTI -- "The best things and most beautiful things in the world Cannot be seen or even touched.
