Murli Sharma in 'Apharan'

Murli Sharma who's put up some brilliant performances in the recent past is films like 'Maqbool', Main Hoon Na, Karam... is very excited about Prakash Jha's 'Apharan' which is up for release on 2nd December. Incidentally in the film this character is also called Murli who is a middle man who barters kidnapping deal.

"It's a very colorful character the way Mr. Prakash Jha deals with his characters and actors Is amazing. All i did was simply follow his script and his instructions." Says Murli who had a great time shooting for 'Apharan'.

He reveals Ajay Devgan with whom he had all his major scenes was a complete pleasure to work with. "Ajay has this amazing quality which very few stars have that is to respect the co actor's space. He was so cooperative and helpful during the scenes. Also as an actor there is something about him. He does the scenes so effortlessly, puts in so little but the impact on screen so terrific. I even asked him but he didn't share his trade secret with me." Laughs Murli who only regrets one thing that he didn't get a chance to share the screen with Nana Patekar in the film.

"I don't have any scene with nana bhai in the film. All my major scenes are with Ajay. Though i will never forget my first interaction with Nanabhai. I was sitting in a corner, reading after giving a shot... and he came up to me & said "bahut achcha kar rahe ho tum. Prakahsh bhi bahut taarif kar rahe the". And i did'nt know how to react. But that was very sweet of him." Smiles Murli.

"I'm always running late... but atleast I am always running." Smiles Murli Sharma who believes-slow & steady wins the race. "And I am racing against myself" he adds with a laugh. After earning plaudits galore for his performances in films like 'Maqbool', 'Main Hoon Na', 'Karam', in the recent now, he is eagerly looking forward to Prakash Jha's 'Apharan' which will hit the theatres on December 2nd, to be followed by Harry Baweja's Sunny Deol-Amisha Patel starrer 'Teesri Aankh'.
