The powerhouse of talent Naseeruddin Shah will be playing the role of the brave Fernando Rey, in the movie ‘Charge Sheet’ inspired by the 1979 crime caper ‘The French Connection’ . Considering the irrepressible Dev Anand is directing it, this one should be fun. Agrees Naseeruddin, . “Suddenly my enthusiasm for film acting is up. I’m looking at a lot of parts. At the moment, I’ve Dev Anand Saab’s Charge Sheet where I play this underworld don who operates in Mumbai from Dubai. The character’s look and traits are inspired by Fernando Rey in The French Connection. I loll around in bed with this lovely lady.”
Characteristically Naseer does not know about who is playing the “lovely lady”. When Naseer can take any film he wants, why did he choose Dev Anand’s film? “It’s Dev Saab’s film. No one says no to Dev Uncle. He’s one of the most charming gentlemen in our film industry.”
