Veteran actor Anupam Kher has once again proven that his cinematic journey is one for the ages. Taking to social media, Kher announced his 549th film, an untitled project with renowned filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya under the Rajshri Productions banner. Sharing a heartfelt video, he wrote, “ANNOUNCING MY 549th FILM: Delighted to share that my 549th untitled film started today with one and only SOORAJ BARJATYA! Presented him the auspicious shawl which I got from #Ayodhya!” The actor also reflected on his long-standing relationship with Barjatya, recalling that Sooraj was Mahesh Bhatt’s fifth assistant on his debut film Saaransh (1984).
The announcement video beautifully captures a moment of warmth and reverence — Kher gifting Barjatya a shawl from Ayodhya as the two mark the first day of shooting. True to Rajshri tradition, Kher shared that he had the honor of appearing in the film’s first shot, a custom that underscores his enduring connection to the production house. “I am an integral part of the Rajshri family for all these years,” he expressed, signing off with a heartfelt “Jai Shri Krishna.”
The yet-untitled film also stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari, marking an exciting blend of generations within the cast. Slated for a late 2026 release, the film is expected to carry Rajshri’s signature themes of family values, emotional storytelling, and moral depth — qualities that have defined the studio’s legacy through hits like Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, Vivah, and Uunchai.
Kher’s collaboration with Barjatya is more than just another project — it’s a full-circle moment that celebrates four decades of creative kinship. From Saaransh to Uunchai, the duo’s partnership has mirrored the evolution of Indian cinema itself, moving seamlessly between artistic introspection and heartfelt mainstream appeal.
With Film No. 549, Anupam Kher continues to honor not only his incredible work ethic but also his deep respect for the traditions and people who have shaped his career. For fans and cinephiles alike, this reunion promises a film that balances nostalgia, emotion, and timeless Rajshri charm.
