Naseer is one of my favourite actors. And in fact I've planned a whole film with him in the central role for next year. For now he has kindly consented to be part of Sunglass which starts shooting in August."
Naseer plays the owener of a curio shop who gives Konkona the pivotal sunglass that manoeuvres the story forward.
The actor par excellence who says he's bored of film acting and looking with passionate amazement at a career in direction after Yun Hota To Kya Hota, is all smiles at the cameo.
"Rituparno is a director I admire. When he hesitantly asked me to play this cameo I happily agreed. Right now film acting doesn't excite me at all. I just feel happy being in films for friends...like I did recently in Mixed Doubles.
It was a walk-on part. But I stood by Rajat Kapoor just as he stood my me. Again in Vishal Bhardwaj's Omkara it's a blink-and-you-miss-the-link kind of role.
But there's a lot more in Omkara that I wanted to be part of. It's going to be a very important film. I'm sure I'll enjoy working with Ritu.I admire Rituparno Ghosh. He's one of the finest filmmakers of the country. "
