Actor Roshan Seth, known for taking part in Jawaharlal Nehru in Richard Attenborough's Gandhi, will return to the massive screen with Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger. The 70-year-old actor, who was last seen in a cameo in Mani Ratnam's Guru 2007, may be seen as Salman Khan's mentor within the film. "Roshan Seth has lately been doing little or no acting work, and by choice. Besides Guru, he has not done a single Hindi film in ages, and positively not a mainstream commercial film," said a source just about the project.
Kabir and Seth's association goes back a ways. "Seth has done the voiceover for each single documentary that Kabir Khan has made. When Kabir turned feature film director with Kabul Express, he again went to Seth to do the voiceover," said the source.
"Now when there has been an acting role in Ek Tha Tiger which Kabir felt only Seth could do justice to, there has been no way Seth could say no to the director," the source added.
Apparently most of Seth's scenes are with Salman. "Salman and Seth, who belong to totally different schools of acting, hit off beautifully. The vibes will show on screen," the source added.
However, Kabir remained unavailable for comment.
