" Om Puri was reportedly unable to attend the premiere of his film West Is West because of filming commitments to Karan Johar&amp;#039;s Agneepath in Mumbai. According to Mid Day, the 60-year-old actor gave 125 press interviews in three days when he visited London earlier this month. The actor said: &amp;quot;Agneepath is an important film. I play the role of an honest cop, which was played by Vikram Gokhale in the original 1990 film. &amp;quot;I knew I couldn&amp;#039;t be present in London for the premiere [of West is West], so I went earlier this month to London for press interviews.&amp;quot; Although Johar often allows actors to pursue other commitments during filming, he did not give Om Puri a day off on this occasion. &amp;quot;The rest of the cast was there,&amp;quot; Puri added. &amp;quot;My presence would&amp;#039;ve made a difference since I am the principal character.&amp;quot; Johar is producing the remake of Yash Johar&amp;#039;s  Agneepath.
