/> For his role of the charlatan 'Peter The Cheater' in Pritish Nandy Communications much talked-about Bow Barracaks Forever, the enormously gifted but under-used Victor Bannjeree learnt to play the trumpet.

"I'm very proud of my performance in Bow Barracks. This was one of my most enjoyable experiences. The director Anjan Dutta was wonderful. And I was given the freedom to interpret my character how I wanted. I worked for months to play the trumpet for my character.

In appreciation of my work the director gifted me the trumpet as a souvenir. I also kept my wristwatch from My Brother...Nikhil. I like to keep behind a momento from all my films."

Victor plays an anglo-Indian named Peter The Cheater. "He's a complete con-man. A very colourful character. My friends whose opinion I value saw the film and said, "I didn't know you could act." I am so happy I could make them happy. And I was so happy that grown men cried watching my performance with my screen son Sanjay Suri in My Brother...Nikhil. It reminded everyone of his own relationship with his father or his son."

And did I call Victor Baneerjee under-utilized? He has four releases coming up in the next month.

Chuckles Victor, "This unemployed actor has four releases in the next couple of weeks, and no one has a clue where these films are coming from! There's Bow Barracks Forever, then another film Bong Connection directed by Anjan Dutta, a Bengali film called Bandhu and finally Anil Sharma's Apne where I got the unique opportunity to interact with the absolutely wonderful Deol family."

As for the clichéd role of Rani's forbidding father in Tara Rum Pum Victor shrugs. "Very frankly, I did that because it was shot in the US. I got a chance to spend some time with my daughter."
