Apparently, both Murli Sharma and Deepak Tijori go back a long way in knowing each other

During the times when actors' fees are touching the sky, Murli Sharma has signed Deepak Tijori's next film for just R 11. Apparently both Murli and Tijori go back a long way in knowing each other.

A source close to them says, `Both of them have been very close friends since years. Murli, who was a struggling actor a decade ago, sought help from Deepak who gave him the role of a eunuch in his telly show Rishtey. It helped establish Murli as an actor, post which he appeared as a lead on another programme titled Dial 100.`

According to sources, Murli who was once a Navi Mumbai resident often slept over at Tijori's Oshiwara office post late night shoots.

The source adds, `Naturally, when Deepak called Murli for his film, the actor refused to take money from him and settled for a sum of R 11 only.`

An indebted Murli further states, `Deepak is like my brother and it was payback time. He has always been there for me when I had no project and even gave me significant work. He has been there for me in every possible way, so how can I even think of charging any money from him?`
