Alyque Padamsee got the role of Jinnah in Sir Richard Attenborough\u2019s film on Mahatma Gandhi without an audition.<\/p>\n
Just a five minute meeting at a cocktail party was enough for Sir Richard to entrust him with a role that would be Alyque\u2019s movie debut after thirty years in theatre. Alongside internationally acclaimed stars like Ben Kingsley, Saeed Jaffery.<\/p>\n
The film was a success at the box office and won 8 Oscars.<\/p>\n
Alyque put in a lot of research to capture Jinnah\u2019s persona, much to Sir Richard\u2019s satisfaction. After filming, Alyque received the character Jinnah\u2019s monocle from Sir Richard as a memento.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
