Best known for his stoner comedy series Harold and Kumar, Indian-origin actor Kal was also seen as Nikhil Gogol Ganguli in Mira Nair’s The Namesake. More recently, he featured in a film on Bhopal Gas tragedy titled Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain. Earlier, talking about his comfort in speaking Hindi, Kal had told Hindustan Times, “It is very different when one speaks from a script. I would love to do another film in Hindi so that I can breach this language barrier.”
He also talked about changing his name and said, “Lot of actors have screen names and when I was making my CV in college, I thought that I should have a name which is cool. For the next one hour, my friends came up with bizarre options. In fact, I very closely escaped being named Kal Pacino! Finally we decided on Kal Penn and whether it was the name or a new agent I had hired then, it seems to have worked for me.”
