Kundan Shah

Director

“I don’t know why but whenever I remember Tom Alter, I smile. His name brings joy to me. You have fixed me by taking his name. He is a thorough professional and I have interacted with him professionally only. I have seen him performing Maulana Azad. Oh so overpowering he is in that! It is my misfortune that I still haven’t worked with him. Where do you find an amazing combination of great looks, fantastic voice, impeccable language skills, love for sports, writing, music and acting? The film industry is lucky that it has such a great man among not-so-great people. I love him and Naseeruddin Shah and I know they make great friends. See my choice, you!

Actor

Tom is one of the most passionate actors and one of the few gentlemen I have met. My first serial with him was Qarar in which he played my brother-in-law and during another serial Daraar, our interactions grew. I admire him. He is a great companion. I have seen his Maulana Azad and loved him. I was supposed to play the middle-aged Ghalib in this play but unfortunately I didn’t have time. I have lost an opportunity to work with him. We also met very frequently when Tom was willing to make a film on communal harmony. It couldn’t take off.
