Backing her is an ensemble cast featuring industry veterans like Jackie Shroff, Arvind Swami, Boman Irani, Pallavi Joshi, and Nasser. Anupam Kher himself also stars in the film, alongside ‘Game of Thrones’ actor Iain Glen.
Karan Tacker, who also features in the film, was visibly emotional while speaking about his big-screen debut.
“Even after 16 years of working, every release still makes me anxious,” he admitted. Recalling how he came on board, Tacker said, “Sir [Anupam Kher] called me about a year and a half ago. He narrated the story, played the music—and I was hooked. I just knew I had to be a part of this journey.”
Adding depth to the emotional narrative is a soul-touching score by Oscar-winning composer M. M. Keeravani. Known for his work on ‘RRR’ and ‘Baahubali’, Keeravani’s music in the trailer already hints at a soundtrack that will linger long after the credits roll.
Produced by Anupam Kher Studios in collaboration with the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), the film is being distributed globally by Excel Entertainment (Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar) and AA Films (Anil Thadani).
