During the conversation with us, Anupam Kher was given an audio message that we received from his son Sikandar Kher. The message started with Sikandar congratulating his father as he was about to complete 40 years in the industry. 

He asked his father, "In Chaalbaaz, when you did that to your upper lip and you were gonna full film like that and I saw the film and it was so believable that this guy is doing this when you showed it at home, I was like how do you pull that off. How do you take millions of people on their ride when you have done something for lack of a better word like over the top, it's like you bring authenticity to something that is almost so unbelievable. Where did you find that conviction and how did you make it believable that you were gonna do it with your face."

Praising Sikandar for telling him he liked his Chaalbaaz role, the veteran actor said that Sikandar remembered the film because, at this time, he was at an impressionable age. 

"When I heard the story of Chaalbaaz, I wanted to play the role of the comic book villain. Director Pankaj Parashar was very forthcoming about doing things. I was wondering what different I could do. I made my nose a little bit longer with the help of plastic but the effect was not visible. Then I folded my upper lip inside the teeth. I read in a book that a Russian actor had done that you just dry up your inner lip and then you turn it around and then you can talk for as long as you want," he said. The veteran actor also called Chaalbaaz a special film.
