The ad-man and bon vivant is bored of calling the shots from behind the camera. So now he will step in front of it wearing holy robes!
The itch to do something new and different strikes everyone every now and then and Prahlad Kakkar is no exception. He has now decided to step into the boots of an actor. In the past, Kakkar has played himself in a handful of movies that include Corporate, Guzaarish and Page 3. But now he will make an appearance in the role of a priest. Yup, you heard right. The ad-man has parted with his signature hatted style to don a gown for an upcoming movie, David.

I was right. Prahlad just slipped into the role like a priest into a gown,” he said. And why not! Kakkar is, after all, famous for donning so many different hats, from ad-guru to scuba diver, restaurateur, olive oil promoter, cigar manufacturer and Page 3 phenomenon, all with great elan.
