Sikandar excited about his international projects

Actor Sikandar Kher, who has been roped in for the American show "Sense8", says he is excited about his international projects.

"I have a few more international projects in the pipeline. It's great that we (Indian actors) are getting a chance to work in the West. Now, we have a chance to do so much more," Sikandar told IANS here.

Without revealing more about the projects, he said that he is looking forward to "Sense8", a series that tells the story about eight strangers from different parts of the world who suddenly become "sensates", which means human beings who are mentally and emotionally linked.

"It's a grey character. It's interesting and a little mysterious. I have a small role in its second season. Hopefully, there will be some more of him in the third. It was great fun," said the 34-year-old.

Though his father Anupam Kher also features in the show, Sikandar says there is no pressure on him.

"My father is 59 and I am 34. There is no scope for comparison...since he is so senior. So, there is no pressure," he said.

On Indian television, Sikandar will be seen playing a negative character named Haroon Sherchan in "24: Season 2", which also stars Anil Kapoor.
