Anupam Kher recently won acclaim for his role in Gurinder Chadha's British comedy Bend It Like Beckham.

Now, he gets behind the camera with his debut directorial film Om Jai Jagadish.

The director of this star-studded family entertainer states, 'Casting is the main ingredient of filmmaking. Anil Kapoor fit the role of unmarried and sacrificing elder brother perfectly. Fardeen Khan has actually studied abroad, and I wanted someone who does not have to depend on his imagination for that role. And Abhishek Bachchan's vulnerability has always caught my eye.'
