Other way, Mr. Kholi!
ic Coventry has an article about Nitin Ganatra, who plays Mr. Kholi, the Mr. Collins character, in BRIDE AND PREJUDICE.
Nitin said: “Gurinder told me not to read Pride and Prejudice as she didn’t want me to be too influenced by the original text.”
So Nitin’s idiot Mr Kholi, who steals the film’s best lines and biggest laughs, truly is an original creation.
And the actor who is trained in martial arts and has a background in dance laughs at the fact this film just demanded he be a buffoon.
Nitin said: “I’m always getting paid to dance badly and fall about, which is actually more difficult than it sounds.”

A Mr. Collins by any other name… still dances as badly. I’m getting rather excited to see this film– it sounds quite good in its own right.
