Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah feels his co-star Kalki Koechlin from the upcoming movie ‘Waiting’ is perfect to play the role.
Directed by Anu Menon, ‘Waiting’ features Naseeruddin portraying the character of an old-school Philosophy professor while Kalki, 32, plays a modern advertising professional.
“The thought of working with Kalki was delicious and I have to say she is utterly fantastic. She was absolutely the right choice for this part,” Naseer said.
The film chronicles the story of both the characters who grapple with grief.
Shiv and Tara strike an unlikely friendship when they meet each other in a hospital while nursing their respective comatose spouses.
The ‘Ishqiya’ star has earlier worked with Kalki in the Anurag Kashyap-directed ‘That Girl in Yellow Boots’. ‘Waiting’ is scheduled to release on May 27.
