Sooraj Barjatya celebrates 40 years of Anupam Kher in Indian Cinema with heartfelt tribute: “There is no one like Anupam Kher”

Sooraj Barjatya and Anupam Kher have been creative collaborators and friends for four decades. They first met on the sets of Saaransh, where Anupam made his debut and Sooraj worked as the fourth assistant director on the Mahesh Bhatt film.

On the official social media handle of Rajshri Productions, Sooraj Barjatya has penned a letter of appreciation for his friend, confidante and colleague, Anupam Kher, to mark his 40th year in Indian cinema.

Sooraj Barjatya wrote, “I have been a keen observer and a collaborator in Anupam Sir’s 40 year old journey in our Hindi film industry. I was the fourth AD on Saaransh, his debut film and our relationship, association and fondness for each other started from there. He gave me my first job on the sets which was to get him the script of Saaransh.”

He added, “I directed him in Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Vivah, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and most recently in Uunchai. Anupamji has been a part of the milestone moments of my career and in a way, I have been too. I guess that’s why our bond is extremely special. In a way, we have both seen each other grow, shared our highs and lows and our friendship has stood the test of time.”

The National Award winning director calls Anupam Kher an institution of acting. He said, “Anupamji to me is an institution of acting. The more you keenly observe him, the more layers you see, the more subtlety you can observe on screen, learn from it and get awed by it. All aspiring and I would say successful actors of this generation should study Anupamji ‘s acting to be better.”

He added, “I was blown away by Vijay 69’s trailer. At 69, Anupamji is still hungry, still wanting more, still pushing himself to set new benchmarks. As someone I look up to, I cannot help but cheer him on in his quest for excellence with Vijay 69. There is no one like Anupamji. I know he will move us to tears with another landmark performance in his 40th year in cinema. We are all lucky to have lived and seen his brilliance.”
