/> After A Wednesday Anupam Kher's career is going great guns. He has just given the nod to Gurinder Chadha's film, his third with her. It's again a cross-cultural story with a huge Indian and Caucasian cast.

"I haven't gone through the script yet. But I'm very fond of Gurinder and liked the roles she gave me in Bend It Like Beckham and Bride & Prejudice. In fact her new film covers the same territory as Bend It Like Beckham. It's a light cross-cultural comedy."

Shooting starts in Feb-March 2009.

Tell him that Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor have said no to Gurinder's project and Anupam retorts, "Sometime not doing a project makes more news than doing it. I'm sure they had their reasons. I'm happy doing my own thing.I'd be the only actor to have worked thrice with Gurinder. Says something about our rapport, don't you think?"

Another new development in Anupam's life...He has decided to write a book sharing his experiences as an actor, humanbeing, husband, father and a socially-responsible citizen.

The decision was prompted after Anupam won the lifetime Teachers' Achievement Award on 8 November.

Says the prolific actor emotionally, "At first I was annoyed. Lifetime awards are normally given to those who have reached the end of their aspirations. But then I saw I was sharing the platform with Olympics winner Abhinav Bhindra, fashion designer Manish Arora and entrepreneur Lalit Mody."

While these were chosen for their achievements in their respective fields Anupam was given a special lifetime achievement award instated from this year for leadership qualities.

Says Anupam, "It made me realize my responsibilities and urged me to share my experiences as an Indian. It won't be straightforward memoir or autobiography.

It would be an account of my own experiences in life that could help others find a motivation or to get back on the right track. Like my play Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai this would be a book about optimism and positivity."

One of Anupam's proudest achievements is the acting school An Actor Prepares which has branches all over the world. The school has lately been in the news for one of his student Zaira Khan who's been selected by Salman Khan to co-star with him apparently because she resembles Katrina Kaif.

"What rubbish! The girl looks nothing like Katrina. Except for the fact that they're both fair-skinned there's no resemblance between the two at all, " ends Anupam.
