When Om Puri went down on his knees for Helen Mirren Om Puri would have turned 72 today if he had not passed away in 2017. He was once shooting with the awesome Helen Mirren in the French town of Albi for Swedish director Lasse Hallstrom’s The Hundred-Foot Journey. He was happy to be in Albi. It’s so peaceful and beautiful he had said in a previous interview and added, I’m very proud of whatever we’ve shot so far. I saw the rushes.
