Mirzapur fame Anil George is considered a big name of OTT. Recently, the actor was seen in the film Kalki 2898 AD. Anil told India Today that he had vowed that he would never shave his beard. But he broke this vow for Kalki. The actor has not broken his vow just like that, there is a big reason for this, which he also revealed.
Anil broke his vow
Anil George plays Councillor Bani in Kalki 2898 AD, who is the right hand man of Supreme Yaskin (Kamal Haasan). Anil broke his vow of not shaving for this film. Explaining the reason for this, he said that after playing some negative roles, especially the role of terrorists, he was flooded with similar offers. It was only after Mardaani, in which he played the role of a lawyer, that the industry saw him differently.
He said- I think a lot has happened because of my look. My beard, which I think suits me a lot, makes these characters even better. To be honest, I had vowed that I would not cut my beard until a very big role came up, and then the role of Kalki was offered to me. I really believe that God listens to your wishes, and fulfills them in his magical ways.
Got fame from Mirzapur
Anil George is also famous for his role of Lala in the popular series ‘Mirzapur’. His dialogue, ‘Bade h*** ho beta’ is a fan favourite, and often appears on meme pages. The actor laughingly explained how people often look at him when he mumbles this line on the road. He said- Recently I was going in a rickshaw, and some girls sitting on another rickshaw saw me. As soon as they recognised me, they started saying that line. It was very funny, but it also feels special that a line became so famous.
Kamal Haasan fan
Along with this, Anil told how big a fan he is of Kamal Haasan, working with him was a big achievement for Anil. The actor said- I am a person who does not let happiness and excitement overwhelm me. I was jumping with joy inside to share the screen with Kamal ji, but I tried to keep myself calm. I am his fan. From ‘Do Dil Deewane’, ‘Sagar’, ‘Pushpak’ to ‘Chachi 420’, we all have seen what a great actor he is. I got a chance to spend some time with him and it was a very happy experience.
