In a refreshing break from intense scenes, Anupam Kher turned cricketer on the sets of Sooraj Barjatya’s much-anticipated untitled film. His Instagram video of a sunny gully cricket game with unit members has taken social media by storm, showcasing the actor’s playful side.
Batting fiercely in the crisp winter light, Kher quipped in the caption: ‘Gully cricket vibes from Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming film shoot with the team. My buddy, the director who embodies Indian cinema’s soul – pure joy and josh! The bowled-out bloopers are off-limits.’ This fun interlude highlights the family-like atmosphere Barjatya fosters on his sets.
Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari Wagh co-star, promising a narrative steeped in cultural depth and emotional resonance. Kher’s history with Barjatya includes iconic films such as ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun’, ‘Vivah’, and ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’, with ‘Uunchai’ being their latest, a tale of friendship and fulfillment starring heavyweights like Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani, and more.
‘Uunchai’ followed four septuagenarian friends conquering Everest Base Camp for a late friend’s dream, proving age is no barrier. As this new film takes shape, Kher’s cricket antics offer a glimpse into the creativity and bonds driving Bollywood’s enduring storytellers.
