Anupam Kher did not need words to create a stir with a six-second-long video — one that saw him stepping out of a building in character as Dr Manmohan Singh — that he shared on social media in April.

As though the deftness with which he had nabbed the mannerisms of his muse wasn't reason enough to pique curiosity, Kher, only yesterday, further gave a glimpse of the precision with which he aped the former prime minister's method of speech. Kher says that replicating the faint voice synonymous to Singh for The Accidental Prime Minister took three months to nab.
