Sahil Khattar: Meeting Syed Kirmani was like encountering my lookalike #IndiaNEWS #Bollywood
Mumbai, Dec 23 | YouTuber, anchor and actor Sahil Khattar is making his Bollywood debut with the film 83, playing the character of the former wicket-keeper Syed Kirmani. The actor shares how his bald look made for a funny encounter with the cricketer when they met for the first time.
Recalling his meeting with Kirmani, Sahil said in a conversation with IANS: As we all can see that one common factor in both of us is our bald look. So when I met Kiri bhai for the first time, he reacted to me, saying, Are! Kiri bhai!. I said to him, No sir, you are Kiri bhai. He said, No, no sir, you are Kiri bhai, I am a lookalike. And both of us started laughing out loud and then he hugged me.
Continuing his walk down memory lane, Khattar said; It was such a delightful meeting followed by a conversation that offered me insights into the kind of personality Syed Kirmani is. Of course, the more I got to know him, the more I realised the responsibility I have taken up to portray him on-screen. But I cant thank my stars enough to give me this opportunity.
As Khattar played the wicket-keeper in the film, he admitted, the training part was the most painful one.
Imagine the number of squats I had to do every single day! Khattar said. I am not a born sportsman and Kiri bhai and every player of the 1983 World Cup-winning team were trained cricketers. For a wicket-keeper, squatting, moving the body from one side to the other becomes their second nature. I was getting into that zone through training.
He continued: Honestly, after a point of time, I was feeling like I dont have my back and legs. It was so painful to hold and pose throughout the performance as an actor while squatting like a wicketkeeper! But eventually, when the final result came out, we all felt that it was worth the effort.
Asked how his meeting with Kapil Dev turned out, Khattar said: I tend to talk a lot and do all kinds of fun, games and masti, so after our meeting, Kapil sir said, Sahil is such a naughty boy!.
