Veteran performer Anupam Kher encountered filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt at Mumbai airport and shared a video on Instagram showing both figures smiling together. Kher expressed gratitude toward Bhatt for providing consistent support and serving as a significant source of encouragement throughout his career, both professionally and personally.
The two entertainment industry figures first collaborated on the 1984 film Saaransh, which marked Kher's acting debut. His performance as B.V. Pradhan, a 65-year-old mourning father, earned widespread acclaim and established his reputation as a performer.
Kher has worked across multiple Indian language film industries and noted that regional cinema has evolved into pan-India productions. He observed that the pandemic exposed audiences to previously overlooked Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil and Bengali films, with these industries demonstrating strong organizational capabilities driven by aspirations for broader acceptance.
