Chandan Roy Sanyal, who played Mikhail in Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminey, has been chosen for Hema Malini's production Tell Me Oh Khuda.

Earlier, he had rejected the role as he felt it wasn't very important. Later, when director Mayur Puri explained the character to him, he agreed. His role will bring comic relief to the film.

Chandan says, "I felt ki koi dost ka chhota sa role hoga. So I was rather reluctant to do it initially."

Chandan met Hema at her residence. Both Mayur and Hema had seen Kaminey and were very impressed with Chandan's work. He starts shooting from November 2.

Tell Me Oh Khuda also stars Vinod Khanna, Rishi Kapoor and Esha Deol in pivotal roles.
