Anupam Kher: For me, Robert De Niro is the world’s greatest actor

Anupam Kher has immense love and respect for his legendary

Silver Linings Playbook

co-star Robert De Niro. The actor admits, “For me, Robert De Niro is the world’s greatest actor. I am always starstruck around him and people like Dilip sahab (Dilip Kumar). I have done a thesis on

the Godfather

trilogy as a drama school student and God has given me an opportunity to work with him.”

Speaking about the Hollywood legend, Kher added, “I was watching The Godfather: Part II (1974) the other day and I was amazed that this is the same guy who dines with me and sings Happy Birthday for me! I am an extrovert, I express myself. He doesn’t and it isn’t some fake humility that he tries to project. He just transforms on screen and that’s inspirational and humbling.”
