Forget the red carpet glamour – on the sets of Sooraj Barjatya’s latest untitled venture, Anupam Kher traded scripts for cricket bats. A viral Instagram video shows the 69-year-old actor immersed in a lively gully cricket match with the film unit under the winter sunshine, evoking nostalgia for India’s favorite pastime.

Kher, batting with boyish enthusiasm, shared the clip with a witty caption: ‘Gully cricket moments. Teaming up with the unit during Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming film shoot was a blast – full of fun and fire. Spared you the clean bowled disasters!’ The post highlights the camaraderie that defines Barjatya’s productions, known for their heartfelt portrayal of family bonds and cultural ethos.

Joining Kher are Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari Wagh, setting the stage for a multi-generational tale. This marks yet another chapter in the storied partnership between Kher and Barjatya, whose hits like ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun’, ‘Vivah’, and ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ defined romantic family dramas. Their last outing, ‘Uunchai’, was a poignant adventure starring Amitabh Bachchan and others, following four lifelong friends on a Himalayan quest to fulfill a promise.

As shooting progresses, this light-hearted break underscores the joyful atmosphere on set. Bollywood enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting details on the plot, but one thing’s clear: with this dream team, expect emotions, laughter, and plenty of Indian warmth.
