Kiran Janjani - from stripper's role to animation film

From playing a male stripper in "Oops" to doing a mythological film, "My Friend Ganesha", actor Kiran Janjani has certainly come a long way. He will be seen in an altogether different avatar in the film and is beaming with happiness about it.

Kiran plays the rich father of Ahsaas Chanana, the protagonist of the film releasing Friday.

He says: "It was a unique experience working for 'My Friend Ganesha'. I have done many ad films with kids and strike a good rapport with them. It was the same with Ahsaas.

"I play a banker who has no time for his family, and the child is neglected. How my son opens my eyes to the divinity and greatness of Lord Ganesha is the beauty of the film."

The film is full of animation.

"There is a lot of animation in the film and I'm looking forward to it since it's difficult to act and converse with something invisible. The effects are amazing and that is something one should watch out for," said Kiran.
