Amol Gupte is a popular man these days after pulling of the villainous act in the movie Kaminey. The accolades for his performance are pouring in from all corners and have not stopped since the promos of the movie hit the screens. For the last ten years, he has been living the life believing that he was a painter until he received a call from Vishal Bhardwaj’s assistant named Honey telling him that they had a role for him of the magnitude of the role Saif Ali Khan played in the movie Omkara.

Before this, he had played the lead role in the movie Gurudakshina where he played the charcter of Govind Nihalani’s brother Dayal. Honey was aware of all the movies than he had done his acre until that pint of time that added up to 108. It was the conviction that they had in him which made him believe once again that he was an actor.

He said the in his entire career he has always been on a learning curve and when he was writing the script for Taare Zameen Par he almost lived each and every character in his story. He was not at all shattered when Aamir Khan decided to direct the movie himself rather he moved on and is now getting to direct his next story titled Sapno Ko Ginte Ginte.

Again, the movie will deal with the psychology of the children. He is open to other acting assignments as well but only of the projects touches him at the heart. The reason he gave Vishal the nod was because of his association with him since the days when he dubbed for the movie Chachi 420.
