”Monkey Man is the biggest opportunity being thrown at me. It is one step
ahead to reach out to a completely new audience. I wanted to give it my all. My
part in the film requires a bulky figure and I have worked very hard to alter
my structure to suit the role,” said Sikandar, son of veteran actor Anupam Kher and actor-politician wife Kirron Kher.

“An actor is only as good as his films. That’s
it. Life’s thrown this huge opportunity towards me and I am working very hard
to stay true to the character. My reel life characters have been very personal
for me. I try to look like them, think like them and act like them. It won’t be
wrong to say I like to get under the skin of every role that comes my way.
Obviously the change is a gradual process but then I feel confident now,
confident enough to tell you that my part in Monkey Man is who I am at the
moment,” added Sikandar.

‘Monkey Man’ is an
upcoming American action thriller film written by Paul Angunawela, John Collee
and Dev Patel, who is also the director of the film.
