Pankaj Kapur on his literary debut and why it took 27 years

In an interview with indianexpress.com, actor Pankaj Kapur talks about his debut novella Dopehri and what he seeks to achieve with it.

The passage of time has not dented the appeal of Pankaj Kapur’s novella.

On Friday, at a plush hotel in New Delhi, Pankaj Kapur was busy deciding on how to hold a book and pose for the camera. “Should I hold it like this? I can.” He was not seeking the approval from a director but from a journalist. It was not a scene where the veteran actor was essaying the role of an author. The book, Dopehri, gingerly held by him was not a prop. He has written it.
