Anupam Kher released the trailer for his upcoming film Shiv Shastri Balboa on his YouTube channel. Anupam is introduced in the nearly two-minute video not as a boxer but as someone who trained boxers and went on to win gold medals.
Anupam's character is Shiv Shankar Shastri, aka Shiv Shastri 'Balboa.' He is seen in the video traveling to the United States to meet his son Jugal Hansraj and his family. However, he gets dejected after realizing that Jugal's kids have no clue about the film Rocky, which he feels is a 'philosophy'.
Anupam then meets Neena Gupta's character, who wishes to visit India after being away for eight years. Shiv agrees to assist her, and they embark on a journey during which Neena loses her passport and belongings. The two meet Sharib Hashmi, the owner of a convenience store, and begin working at a petrol pump. Anupam and Neena have some fun as well, going to pubs and bowling.
Things take a dark turn, however, when 'wanted' Neena is apprehended. She begs Anupam to assist her. Anupam, a Rocky fan, is next seen with a group of bikers. He also joins Neena and the bikers on a road trip. The trailer concludes with Anupam visiting the Rocky Statue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. The unexpected road trip teaches an Indian retiree that it's never too late to reinvent yourself.
Kishore Varieth produced the film, which was directed by Ajay Venugopalan. UFI Motion Pictures, Anupam Kher Studio, and Tarun Rathi are the producers. The upcoming film will be released in theatres on February 10. Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Jugal Hansraj, Sharib Hashmi, and Nargis Fakhri star in the film.
Anupam recently revealed the film's release date on Twitter, as well as the official poster.
Anupam sent out a tweet.
