Vertan actor Anupam Kher received the best actor award for his role in Hindi film ‘Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara’ at the Karachi International Film Festival (KARA).

Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara is a film about a middle age professor who believes that he has killed Mahatma Gandhi. The movie is about the Gandhian ideals that have been conveniently forgotten by today’s generation. In addition to that the film tries to understand the human psyche.

The film is produced by Anupam Kher, distributed by Yashraj Films and directed by nine-time national award winner Jahnu Barua.

Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara will also be screened at ongoing Dubai International Film Festival. “I am very happy to receive the award as the subject of the film is close to my heart,” Kher said just before he left for Dubai to attend an international film festival there.

Urmila Matondkar who played Anupam’s daughter in the film is accompanying director Jahnu Barua to the Dubai Festival.
