/> Anupam Kher is now part of an ongoing amateur-detective series. He shot the first feature entitled Mr Bhatti On Chutti for the proposed series in the Lake District of England.

Says Anupam, "I entered a new international phase of my career when I did Gurinder Chadha's Bend It Like Beckham. Now I'm going into another phase with Mr BhattiOn Chutti.

It's directed by my NSD mate Karan Razdan. We shot it as one-off thing. But the film has been such fun we've decided to shoot an entire series of feature films based on the exploits of this amateur detective called Bhatti...

We'll have 'Mr Bhatti Goes To China', 'Mr Bhatti in New York', and so on and so forth."

Not unlike Satyajit Ray's celebrated Detective Feluda series.

"I've a double role in Mr Bhatti On Chutti. Besides the Detective who's like Feluda and Hercule Poirot, I also play a sinister international terrorist.

The idea is to let this detective and by proxy, the audience have fun. And we're making the series in 'Hinglish' and with an international cast comprising of Indian, Pakistani and Australian actors."

Detective Bhatti promises to be back in the near future. Says Anupam, "Bhatti promises to be our first detective series. Apart from being an amateur sleuth he's a big Bachchan fan,"

In fact the Big B makes an appearance at the end of the film.
