Bollywood actor Sikandar Kher will be seen playing a Gujarati shopkeeper in his next film title `Dukaan`. The film centres on the theme of surrogacy, and it will mark the directorial debut of the duo Siddharth Singh and Garima Wahal who are known for writing scripts of films like `Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela` and `Toilet: Ek Prem Katha`.
Shedding light on his character, Sikandar said, "The character is that of a Gujarati shopkeeper from a middle-class background and my preparation with my directors is trying to figure out how best to get the Gujarati accent. For that, Siddharth, Garima and I sat and we would be doing readings and other than that I would also be doing that at home constantly whenever I had the script I would just read through it again, trying to figure out and make it on my own, so that sometimes you want to improvise it should be in the dialect."
