When Deccan Chronicle quizzed him about his eyebrow-raising plans to undertake a march to the Rashtrapati Bhavan on 7 November to protest against artistes, who have returned their awards as a mark of protest, Anupam answers cautiously, “Yes, it is a fact. I am undertaking an anti awards-vapsi march on the morning of November 7 to the Rashtrapati Bhavan. I’ve an appointment with the President Shri Pranab Mukherjee for 10 am on November 7.And that’s all I am willing to tell you right now.”

When asked how much support he has from within the film and theatre fraternity for this unus ual for m of protest against the protesters, Anupam shoots back, “There is support, of course, thought it may not be direct or open. The march on November 7 is not about numbers. It’s about conviction. Even if I’ve to march alone to the Rashtrapti Bhavan on November 7 I’ll do so.”
