Anupam Kher’s look from ‘Mrs Wilson’ revealed!

Making for a profoundly moving story, the upcoming show that is set in the 1940s and 1960s London is inspired by the memoir of Ruth Wilson's (an award-winning English actress, known for performance in The Affair) grandmother and her family’s complicated history.

Kher will be part of an ensemble star cast that includes Iain Glen, Keeley Hawes, and Fiona Shaw.

Anupam Kher says, "Mrs. Wilson is a BBC One drama series production. It’s a three-part series featuring Ruth Wilson, myself, Iain Glen, Keeley Hawes, and several other talented actors. I started shooting the series on 9th May in Belfast (Northern Ireland) and various other locations. It’s an espionage thriller, mystery, human drama series where Miss Wilson who is portraying her own grandmother, is a real-life story about Alison Wilson who was a British spy working for MI5”

“I play his handler who was based in India and later shifts to Lahore and eventually in London. The story revolves around 1930's and 1960's, so it is a great period drama. It was a great experience working with the director and I will be going back to shoot on 3rd June to finish the remaining schedule. Ruth Wilson is a fabulous actress and every actor associated with the series is amazing. Game of Thrones actor Iain Glen is brilliant and he plays Alek, the author, and an undercover officer. I have most of my scenes with him, Keeley Hawes and Alison Wilson”

“My character will have two different and interesting looks. The kind of authenticity and research that went into the making is phenomenal and has turned out to be quite a challenging task working with these fabulous actors, also because I don’t think in English, so I translate the lines from Hindi to English. It helps to push my boundaries as an actor. And I think it worked out well"

On the home front, Anupam Kher is also committed to “The Accidental Prime Minister”.
