The Kashmir Files actor also wrote a caption, "Cinema is that magical place where anything done with total passion and conviction becomes completely believable. It was nice to touch my younger brother @RajuKher1's feet in a scene in #SoorajBarjatya’s magnum opus #Uunchai. He was awkward but I got cheap thrills. Especially when other personalities in the scene were legendary (sic)"

Sooraj and Anupam Kher had recently shared a nice moment, of which, the latter posted a video on his social media. In the video, Anupam is seen holding the clapperboard as Sooraj is seen conversing with other crew members on set. He also wrote on Twitter along with a series of fun emojis, “During the shooting of #Saaransh #SoorajBarjatya was an assistant and a #ClapperBoy. So it was fun to do the same job while he is directing the magnum opus #Uunchai. Also I got to do a little bit of fooling around!! But genius was too involved in the shot to notice my comedy! (sic)”

Uunchai release date

Uunchai is being touted as a film about friendship. Anupam has collaborated with Sooraj in a number of films, including Hum Aapke Hain Koun...! Vivah, and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. The Rajshri production director is making a comeback to directing after a seven-year hiatus, with Prem Ratan Dhan Payo serving as his penultimate film.

Uunchai is expected to be released in 2022, although the film and its team are yet to make an official announcement.
