As anticipation builds for the release of the Netflix film ‘Vijay 69’ on November 8, celebrated Bollywood veteran Anupam Kher alongside rising actor Mihir Ahuja, delve into the unique themes their upcoming movie promises to bring to audiences worldwide. The actors recently opened up about how this film, poised to enrich this year’s Diwali cheer, offers a new lens on diverse and unexpected relationships.
Directed by Akshay Roy and produced by Maneesh Sharma, ‘Vijay 69’ is an extraordinary narrative woven with lessons on camaraderie, care, and companionship. This touching film, backed by Netflix and YRF Entertainment, spotlights Ahuja’s character as he emerges as a vital support and cheerleader for Kher’s Vijay Mathew, signifying that the strongest ties need not always be bound by blood.
In a society often driven by family legacies and ancestral bonds, ‘Vijay 69’ seeks to inspire with its message that friendships and emotional connnections formed through unexpected interactions may just carry equal weight. As Anupam Kher poignantly states, “This Diwali, as we come together to celebrate the ties that bind us, ‘Vijay 69′ brings to focus a special adage — family is not just about blood relations. Many times, the individuals who enter your life unplanned turn into those who genuinely care for you. Mihir’s role becomes that unforeseen beacon of light in my storyline, but the bond we created off-screen feels like a family connection as well.”
Further propagating the touching vision of the film, Kher continues, “The film wonderfully suggests that the youth play a pivotal role in spreading warmth and joy to senior citizens’ lives. Young people can be excellent companions, encouraging seniors and filling their lives with optimism. It’s essential for a society to be judged based on how it values and treats its elderly, and I firmly believe that India’s youth can illuminate this potential to demonstrate immense love towards our citizens globally.”
For Mihir Ahuja, collaborating with a cinematic icon like Anupam Kher was both enlightening and priceless. Ahuja expresses his deep appreciation for the film’s inclusive narrative. “‘Vijay 69’ is the quintessential Diwali flick. Through the warmth of the festival of lights, we honor the shared bonds of unity and family.
. Our film illustrates how two individuals, separated by age yet united by circumstance, support each other and eventually create a family. I’m deeply moved by this project, and I’m thrilled that it highlights the younger generation’s profound respect for the elders who have laid the groundwork for us.”
This Diwali, both Anupam Kher and Mihir Ahuja took to social media, sharing heartening visuals of their festive celebrations, exchanging sweet treats, and fully embracing the vibrant festive spirit. Their camaraderie resonates deeply both off the screen and throughout the film, offering viewers a captivating reminder of the various forms a family can take.
Reflecting further on the film’s essence, Mihir admires how ‘Vijay 69’ vividly portrays inclusivity. “I am particularly delighted with how the story emphasizes that anyone, regardless of who they are, can be embraced as family. We only need to champion a society that is inclusive and acknowledges each other’s dreams and necessities. It serves to show that kinship does not rely solely on relationships. The film celebrates how youth are mature enough to elevate the spirits of senior citizens. There’s so much that my generation can glean from our predecessors, particularly concerning empathy and the true meaning of familial connections.”
Ultimately, working alongside Anupam Kher, Mihir Ahuja gleaned numerous insights, describing the experience as profoundly informative and rewarding. “Every day on set with the legend that Kher is was a lesson. It was an honor working on ‘Vijay 69,’ and the lessons in empathy and kinship shall stay with me for a lifetime.”
With ‘Vijay 69’ promising a delightful blend of humor, sincerity, and warmth, audiences are eagerly waiting for its November 8 debut, exclusively on Netflix. The movie is set to explore human connections in a touching way that will resonate with viewers, leaving a heartwarming imprint this festive season.
