The trailer of Uunchai was unveiled on Tuesday, October 18 by the makers. Directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya, produced by his home production Rajshri Productions in association with Mahaveer Jain Films and Boundless Media, Uunchai will be in theatres in November 2022. At the trailer launch, Anupam Kher said that he owes his career to Rajshri Films and that he was delighted to work with Barjatya again.
While talking to the media on Tuesday, Anupam Kher said, “Mera filmi janam Rajshri production mein hua hai (My film career started because of Rajshri productions). I owe my career, ups, and downs to Rajshri. Sooraj was the fifth assistant on Saraansh. He was the producer’s son, but no one was giving him work. So I told him to bring my dialogues file and he was very happy to do that. I have done four films with him now. When Sooraj narrated (to me) the story of Uunchai, I said fantastic, and was very happy to get the opportunity to work with Bachchan Saab after so long.”
“It has been a great journey with Bachchan Saab from Aakhri Raasta to Uunchai. When I asked Sooraj about the cast, he said there is a nice role for Boman, but he does not have dates and has some personal commitments. So I called him later and convinced him to do the film,” he added.
The backbone of Uunchai’s story is friendship as the lead actors leave their cozy Delhi lives to trek to Everest Base Camp. It is a film that promises to celebrate emotion, relationships and age, Uunchai is headlined by Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Sarika, Neena Gupta and Parineeti Chopra, with special performances by Danny Denzongpa and Nafisa Ali Sodhi. Uunchai is slated to be released on November 11, 2022.
