The second official poster for ‘Uunchai‘ has been released and it has the cast of stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher and Boman Irani. The film is helmed by Sooraj Barjatya who returns after a long absence since ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ in 2015. ‘Uunchai’ is going to be the 60th production of Rajshri Productions. This is also the first time Sooraj Barjatya and Amitabh Bachchan will be working together.
‘Uunchai’ will be a tale of friendship, adventure and life. Much different from Anupam Kher’s ‘The Shaukeens’ where three sexagenerian friends go out into the world once again in search for fun but probably with a similar theme. The adventure and friendship found there is not what we expect from Uunchai. The mountains in the poster give a serene vibe and somehow suggest the film being something of the spiritual journey. Sooraj Barjatya is known for family films like ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’ and ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’. A film on old age friendship and maybe an extraordinary expedition to Mount Everest will be something different from what we have always got from him. This gives a little hope about the movie actually being better than others like ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’.
Amitabh Bachchan‘s two back to back releases ‘Goodbye’ and ‘Uunchai’ proves the magic of his wonderful second innings. Anupam Kher was appreciated widely for his performance in ‘The Kashmir Files’ and Boman Irani will be back after ‘Sanju’. The cast includes more talents like Neena Gupta and Parineeti Chopra.
