Mumbai, February 24 Veteran actor Chunky Panday says he has finally fulfilled a long-held wish from his bucket list, revealing that he is finally living his childhood dream of playing a cowboy.
The actor shared glimpses from a ranch near Bhopal, where he is currently filming, on social media. Dressed in classic western attire, Chunky looked every bit the cowboy as he posed for the camera.
"Fulfilling my childhood dream of making a cowboy movie. Filming with my team on a ranch near Bhopal," he wrote in the caption.
The actor did not reveal further details about the project.
Chunky made his acting debut in 1987 with the film Aag Hi Aag and gained recognition for his supporting role as Babban in Tezaab in 1988. Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, Panday appeared in several successful multi-starrer films, including Paap Ki Duniya, Khatron Ke Khiladi, Vishwatma, Aankhen, and Lootere.
Chunky, who is the father of actress Ananya Panday, was last seen in Rahu Ketu, directed by Vipul Vig. It stars Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, Shalini Pandey and Chunky Panday. It is described as a comedy adventure film inspired by folklore, incorporating humor, fantasy, and elements of Indian culture.
The film follows Rahu and Ketu, two lovable characters born from writer Churu Lal's magical notebook, as they embark on a chaotic mission to retrieve the notebook from the crafty Meenu Taxi. Along the way, they uncover surprising truths about their origins, stumble into a dangerous drug mafia network, and ultimately take control of their own destiny.
