<\/a><\/p>\nManish Paul, who\u2019s playing Farooque Shaikh\u2019s role in the Katha remake, recollects his experience meeting the late actor.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This one\u2019s going to be a double whammy for Manish Paul. Firstly, the talented television host-turned-actor bagged the remake of Sai Paranjpye\u2019s Katha helmed by popular critic-filmmaker Khalid Mohammed and on top of that he\u2019s reprising the role played by the late actor Farooque Shaikh in the original 1983 cult classic.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Manish certainly couldn\u2019t have asked for more as he considers himself too small an actor to reprise the late actor on screen, someone who he holds in high regard. The actor, who\u2019s trying to imbibe Farooque\u2019s mannerisms for the role informs, \u201cI watched Chashme Baddoor several times to learn something from the legendary actor. His comic timing and the way he delivered his dialogue was simply outstanding.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Paul shares an interesting anecdote about the late actor. \u201cI was in the middle of an interview after winning the Best Actor award for Mickey Virus when I saw Farooqueji walking towards me. I left the interview mid-way, went to him and touched his feet. Farooqueji complimented me for my work and said I have a good future. This was the first and last time I met him,\u201d recalls Manish.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On stepping into Farooque Shaikh\u2019s shoes, Manish says, \u201cI feel I have his blessings to play this role. I\u2019m not trying to step into his shoes. We have changed a few things to keep up with the times and I am playing the role to the best of my ability.\u201d<\/p>\n
