About The Event
A larger-than-life theatrical production that will motivate you and melt your heart at the same time. This play made Dilip Kumar "drenched with joy," left Amitabh Bachchan "stunned," gave him "an unforgettable experience," and made Lata Mangeshkar call it "simply brilliant."
An exclusive chance to witness Anupam Kher live on stage, who will make you not only laugh and cry but also give you a lifetime experience. An evening never to be missed.
This is the journey of a man who should have been a failure but manipulated his destiny and forced it to become a success. Never, in the history of theatre, has the autobiography of an actor been dramatised on stage, especially while he is still practising his craft.
Anupam Kher, with over 500 films, is perhaps the most versatile and prolific actor Indian cinema has ever seen. In recent times, all the biggest blockbusters bear his name in the credits. Audiences have loved him in films like Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, A Wednesday, Special 26, Uunchai, and most recently, The Kashmir Files. He has also garnered international acclaim with Silver Linings Playbook, Bend It Like Beckham, The Big Sick, and New Amsterdam.
At the zenith of his career and the crossroads of his life, he pauses to reflect and share his pain, joy, and tears, peppered with rib-tickling humour. Anupam's struggle unfolds like a shaky Hindi film finding its coherence through the sheer determination of its protagonist and the interesting twists and turns that life provides, in fits of passion and reflection.
The play will be staged as a full production, with Anupam Kher narrating and dramatising important events in his life, such as his first romantic encounter, his failure at the Gandhi audition, his casting in Saaransh, his record-breaking award streak, and his personal relationships.
Although the play tells the story of a small-town boy making it big in the Hindi film industry, audiences will identify with him and find snatches of their own lives being played out on stage.
This is a play that celebrates life and reaches out to all, with honesty and rare candour.
