Salman has evolved as an actor: Om Puri

Om will soon be seen in a pivotal role in Kabir Khan's next film Tubelight.

One of India’s finest actors Om Puri might be uber choosy about his roles, but the veteran is far from hanging his boots. Om will soon be seen in a pivotal role in Kabir Khan’s next film Tubelight.

Speaking about his role just before leaving for the film’s Ladakh schedule, the actor said, “In Tubelight I play a Muslim Gandhian. The film is set during the Indo-China war of 1963. I have a very interesting sympathetic character. If you remember I had played a sympathetic liberal Pakistani mullah in Kabir Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan. It’s good to be cast in characters with unexpected shades of empathy. Kabir knows how to use actors in the best way possible.” About shooting with Salman, Om says, “I had done Dabangg with him. Then we did Bajrangi Bhaijaan, now Tubelight. Salman has evolved as an actor.”
