Sikander Kher has more international projects lined up

Actor Sikandar Kher, who has been cast in the Netflix American TV show Sense8, says he is excited about his international projects.

“I have a few more international projects in the pipeline. It’s great that we [Indian actors] are getting a chance to work in the West. Now, we have a chance to do so much more,” said Kher.

Without revealing more about the projects, he said that he is looking forward to Sense8, a series that tells the story about eight strangers from different parts of the world who suddenly become “sensates”, human beings who are mentally and emotionally linked.

“It’s a grey character. It’s interesting and a little mysterious. I have a small role in its second season. Hopefully, there will be some more of him in the third. It was great fun,” said the 34-year-old.

Though his father Anupam Kher also features in the show, Kher says there is no pressure on him.

“My father is 59 and I am 34. There is no scope for comparison, since he is so senior. So there is no pressure,” he said.

On Indian television, Kher will be seen playing a negative character named Haroon Sherchan in season two of 24, which also stars Anil Kapoor.
