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.
