Director Satish Kaushik who has made Karzzzz, a remake of Bollywood classic Karz is all words of praise for Himesh Reshammiya who has donned the role of Monty, the hero of Karz.

Satish Kaushik says he was floored by Himesh’s performance in his last movie Aap Ka Suroor before he cast him in Karzzzz. “Of course, I have seen Aap Kaa Surroor and I simply loved him in the film. I have also seen him perform on stage and one needs to give it to him for such a massive fan following! The kind of music that he had given in Aap Kaa Surroor was simply phenomenal. After I saw the film, I was totally floored by his screen presence. He has got very dreamy and lost eyes complemented with a very sweet smile. Overall, he is a very wonderful person. As far as his acting skills are concerned, I would give him a 10 on 10. For Himesh is one person, who is passionate about whatever he does. Since I have dealt in theatre before, I was tad sure that I will be able to extract nothing but the best out of this man!, “ said Satish Kaushik.

“Now that Karzzzz is complete, I can very confidently say that the whole ‘confusion’ about Himesh being an actor or a non-actor will be laid to rest! His performance in Karzzzz is totally fantastic,” he added. I am also confident that the ‘Generation Next’ will surely accept Himesh as Monty, as he has portrayed the role so convincingly and effectively.”

Asked how it was directing Himesh Reshammiya, Kaushik said,” Hailing from a theatre background, the ‘actor’ in me was taught (during my struggling days) that, for an actor, ‘listening power’ should be more important than the ‘verbal power’. According to me, a good actor is someone who listens more than he speaks. And I found this quality in Himesh. He was totally open to my way of direction. He is someone whom I would call as a ‘Directors actor’. Also it’s a sheer delight to even listen to him. He knows all the ups, lows, pauses, modulations and the stresses of every sentence. The overall ‘Himesh Reshammiya‘ was simply fabulous!

No w that the director has put full faith in the hero, it is only left to the box office to give the final verdict on the fate of the new “ Monty.”
