Mumbai’s film scene just got a dose of street cricket excitement as Anupam Kher shared a delightful video from the sets of Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming untitled film. Amid the chilly winter sun, the veteran actor was seen batting with gusto alongside the unit members, bringing alive the spirit of gully cricket.
The video, posted on his official Instagram, captures Kher in high spirits, swinging the bat while the crew cheers him on. ‘Gully cricket glimpses. With my friend and one of India’s best directors who waves the flag of Indianness in films, Sooraj Barjatya, during the shoot of his upcoming film. Playing cricket with the unit was pure fun and full of energy. The videos of balls where I got clean bowled aren’t here, okay?’ he captioned with his signature humor.
This isn’t just any project. The film stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari Wagh in key roles, promising another Barjatya classic rooted in family values and Indian culture. Anupam Kher’s collaboration with Barjatya is a reunion of sorts, having previously worked together in blockbusters like ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun’, ‘Vivah’, and ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’. Their recent joint venture ‘Uunchai’ featured an ensemble cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani, Parineeti Chopra, Neena Gupta, and Sarika.
‘Uunchai’ revolved around four friends honoring their late friend’s wish by trekking to Mount Everest Base Camp, blending emotion, adventure, and camaraderie. Fans are already buzzing about what this new untitled film will bring, especially with Kher’s infectious energy lighting up the sets. As Bollywood gears up for more feel-good cinema, moments like these remind us why these icons endure.
