Darpan News Desk IANS, 19 Jun, 2019 09:10 PM

Veteran actor Anupam Kher says it was a pat on the shoulder from legendary actor Dilip Kumar during the shoot of their film "Karma" that made him feel that he had arrived.

Anupam on Wednesday shared a still from the 1986 film "Karma", directed by Subhash Ghai. Anupam played the iconic villain Dr. Dang, while Dilip Kumar essayed the role of Rana Vishwa Pratap Singh, a police officer.

He captioned the image: "The iconic meeting of Dr. Dang with Rana Vishwa Pratap Singh. This was my first day of shoot for Subhash Ghaiji's magnum opus 'Karma'. I was apprehensive, nervous and excited to be in the same frame with the real thespian and legend Dilip Kumar."

The iconic meeting of #DrDang with #RanaVishwaPratapSingh. This was my first day of shoot for Subhash Ghai Ji’s magnum opus KARMA. I was apprehensive, nervous, & excited to be in the same frame with the real thespian and legend #DilipKumar. His “Relax! It is only acting” didn’t relax me. But his pat on my shoulder after the shot did make me think that I had arrived. There is, and there will be, nobody like Dilip Saab. He is the ultimate actor India has ever produced. Jai Ho.🙏😍🙏
