Maneesh Sharma is producing the film, which will be helmed by Akshay Roy, who previously directed Meri Pyaari Bindu starring Parineeti Chopra and Ayushmann Khurrana. The film's OTT platform and release date have not yet been confirmed. However, the cartoonish poster was enough to pique the interest of the viewers.
This is not the first light hearted sports-themed slice-of-life film of the actor. Shiv Shastri Balboa,a film on the same theme, was recently released by Anupam, who continues to do challenging roles and improves with every film. He continues to serve fitness goals and inspires people of all ages to learn something new, even if they are 60 or older!
On his 68th birthday, Anupam Kher posted a video in which he stated that he began learning to swim to overcome his phobia of water and that it is never too late to start anything new. He was most recently seen in films like Uunchai and Shiv Shashtri Balboa, both of which received critical acclaim.
