Kader Khan says some Bollywood bosses gave him ‘cold-shoulder’

The talented actor-cum-writer said that after his illness, producers and directors were unwilling to take him in their films.

Kader Khan, who was present at the trailer launch of his upcoming comedy “Hogaya Dimaagh Ka Dahi”, said. “Some people refused to keep me with them. I was a little unwell. And people refused to take me back into their films,” he told the media.

But Khan praised the director Fauzia Arshi. “It is only Fauzia who took good care of me, kept on motivating me. There was freedom from Fauzia right from the first meeting. She is an outstanding director,” he said.

Om Puri, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra also star in the film, and Kader Khan termed them ‘thespians’ and expressed delight at getting the opportunity to work with all of them together. “When there is ‘Dimaagh Ka Dahi’ (extreme irritation), the person gets distanced from oneself. When I got distanced from my films, I got distanced from myself.”
