Kher then successfully entered into production of national and international award winning films, such as ‘Bariwali’ and ‘Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Maara’.
After two decades spent rising to celebrity status in India, Kher’s appearance in the popular English-language romantic comedies “Bend It Like Beckham” (2002) and “Bride and Prejudice” (2004) brought him international recognition. He also appeared on the popular series ‘ER’ in 2004 and in the big Hollywood dramas ‘The Mistress of Spices’ (2006), Ang Lee’s ‘Lust, Caution’ (2007), and with Robert De Niro in the Academy Award-nominated film ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ (2012).
