Veteran actor Anupam Kher has expressed his desire to collaborate with filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, calling him one of the "original cool" directors of Indian cinema. Kher shared his sentiments in an Instagram post, accompanied by a photo of the two together.

In the post, Kher wrote, "COOL DUDE: I was really very happy to meet the maverick director Ram Gopal Verma recently! Even though as an actor I have just done a small guest appearance in one of his films, I have always admired his brilliance. He is one of the original 'Cool' directors. Hope he soon comes up with something extraordinary — with me also in it! Wishing you great luck, my friend!".

The post quickly resonated with fans of both artists, sparking nostalgia for some of Varma's most iconic films. Kher only had a guest appearance in Varma's 2005 political crime drama Sarkar, but the admiration between them is evident.

Varma is known for redefining Indian gangster and thriller cinema with films like Satya, Company, Rangeela, and Sarkar. He has gained a reputation for his unconventional storytelling and personality. Kher, a versatile actor with over 500 films to his name, praised Varma's creative vision and fearless approach to filmmaking.

Kher's hint in his post, "hope he comes up with something extraordinary with me in it!" has fueled speculation among fans about a potential collaboration. Varma rose to prominence in the 90s with Shiva and Rangeela, solidifying his position with cult classics like Satya and Company. He is known for gritty realism, sharp dialogues, and unconventional narrative structures.

Whether a new project is on the horizon remains to be seen, but the reunion of these two cinematic figures has generated considerable excitement among fans.

In other news, Ahaan Panday, who debuted in Saiyaara, received encouragement from Kher, who welcomed Panday to the film industry and wished him a long and successful career. Panday expressed gratitude for Kher's support.
