Mumbai, Apr 29: Veteran actor Anupam Kher, celebrated for his versatile performances across Indian cinema, has now fulfilled a long-cherished spiritual aspiration — a soulful video rendition of the revered Hanuman Chalisa. The 70-year-old actor took to social media on Tuesday to unveil the devotional piece, describing it as one of the most personal and emotional milestones of his life.
Sharing the video on Instagram, Kher wrote, “For a long time, I have wished to make a video of the whole Hanuman Chalisa and share it with all of you. Hope you will appreciate this effort of mine. Apologies if there was any mistake. But the spirit of devotion is 100% pure! If possible, share this video with the devotees of Hanuman ji as much as possible. Hail Bajrang Bali!”
Kher’s deep spiritual inclinations are well known to his followers. Through this heartfelt act, the veteran actor has connected not only with his faith but also with countless devotees of Lord Hanuman. His rendition, steeped in emotion and reverence, received widespread appreciation across social media platforms.
Meanwhile, the acclaimed actor is also creating ripples with his return to direction after more than two decades. His upcoming film Tanvi The Great, a passion project, is generating considerable buzz ahead of its world premiere at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, under the Marché du Film section.
In a grand unveiling on April 28, Kher introduced Shubhangi, a fresh talent from his acting school Actor Prepares, as the leading lady of the film. Bollywood actress Kajol did the honours at the event, warmly welcoming Shubhangi and showering her with best wishes for a bright cinematic future.
Speaking about his casting decision, Kher shared, “When it came to casting Tanvi, I was determined to discover a fresh face and select a talent from my institute in order to offer a newcomer this opportunity. She has given her all to portray Tanvi — a story very close to my heart. I hope audiences embrace her with the love and encouragement she truly deserves.”
Anupam Kher's dual journey — one of faith and another of artistic passion — continues to inspire. As the world awaits the Cannes premiere of Tanvi The Great, the actor’s spiritual expression through the Hanuman Chalisa serves as a testament to his multifaceted persona — one deeply rooted in tradition, yet constantly evolving in art.
