Cricket fever gripped the sets of Sooraj Barjatya’s untitled film when Anupam Kher stepped up to bat in a spontaneous gully match with the crew. The heartwarming video, shared on Instagram, shows the actor in winter sunlight, relishing every moment as balls fly and laughter echoes.
Captioning the fun reel, Kher wrote, ‘Sneak peeks of gully cricket. During the shoot of my friend Sooraj Barjatya’s next – one of India’s top directors championing Indian values in cinema – playing with the unit was exhilarating. No clips of my clean bowled moments here, promise!’ It’s a perfect snapshot of the relaxed vibe amid intense shooting schedules.
The project boasts a stellar lineup with Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari Wagh, aligning with Barjatya’s signature style of stories celebrating relationships and traditions. Kher and Barjatya’s chemistry is legendary, from timeless classics ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun’ and ‘Vivah’ to ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’. Most recently, they collaborated on ‘Uunchai’, an emotional rollercoaster featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani, Parineeti Chopra, Neena Gupta, and Sarika.
That film chronicled four friends’ epic journey to Mount Everest Base Camp to honor their deceased pal’s final wish, mixing tears with triumphs. With production in full swing, this cricket escapade has fans hooked, hinting at the positive energy fueling what could be Barjatya’s next big hit.
