New Delhi, May 03: Former Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh will play a Hindustani Classical singer in Malayalam film Bombay Mittai, which also stars Bollywood star Dimple Kapadia. The film, shooting for which began Sunday, also stars actor-dancer Neelambari Perumal, daughter of former chief of Sri Lanka’s North East Provincial Council Vardaraja Perumal.
Singh said he was excited to be acting alongside Dimple, who plays his wife in the film. He said as a young man he would bunk law classes to watch her films.
This is not the first time that Singh is doing a film. Last year, he was seen in Sesh Sanghat, a Bengali film produced by Rampur MP Jaya Prada, who was also expelled from SP along with him. Singh has worked in Dev Anand’s yet to be released Chargesheet.
Amar Singh, the actor, however, has no intention to compete with the likes of Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. “I know my limitations. I don’t want to live in a fool’s paradise. Everyone has their niche and forte. They cannot become Amar Singh,” he said.
