Veteran actor Asrani will be seen in Sanjay Jha's upcoming play, Welcome Zindagi. He plays the role of a miser who does not care for the family's needs. One of his signature lines in the play is 'Hey Bhagaban Utha Le'. The veteran actor is known for his comic timing, so it should be a fun watch.

Fan or not, most cinelovers remember veteran actor-comedian Govardhan Asrani for his "Jailor" scene in the 1975 hit "Sholay". A reenactment of it in his play "Makhichoos" comes after almost 43 years, reminding us why the thespian is loved both on screen and stage. "Makhichoos" -- an "Indianised" adaptation of the French classic "The Miser" -- is an 80-minute Hindi play centered on the parsimony of protagonist Topan Lal, and has Asrani play the lead. It was staged at Shri Satya Sai Auditorium at a mall in Noida in September.
