The musical play is written and directed by filmmaker and theatre personality Gajendra Ahire. Music for the production has been composed by Anu Malik. This marks the first time the composer is creating music for a stage play.

The play explores relationships in today's world. It follows how people who seem familiar to each other can still remain strangers in many ways. The story delves into emotions, memories, and connections between people through drama and music.

Singers Shaan, Sukhwinder Singh, and Anandi Joshi have lent their voices to the songs. Lyrics for the play have been written by Kausar Munir, while choreography is handled by Chirag Aggarwal.

The production also includes actors Meghna Malik, Maya Sharma, Vikas Rawat, Shraddha Mandale, and Herman De Souza in the cast.

Speaking about the play, Kher shared that theatre holds a special place in his career and that returning to the stage always feels meaningful.

"Theatre is where my journey as an actor truly began, and every time I return to the stage it feels like coming home. 'Jaane Pehchaane Anjaane' is a deeply human story that reflects the emotional contradictions of the world we live in today. Collaborating with such an extraordinary creative team makes this production incredibly special for me. I believe audiences will see themselves in this story," Kher said, as per a release.

Composer Anu Malik also spoke about working on the musical score for the play. He said music plays an important role in bringing out emotions in the story.

"Music has the power to express emotions that words sometimes cannot. When I first heard the story of 'Jaane Pehchaane Anjaane,' I knew it needed a musical soul that could touch the heart. Composing for theatre is a unique and exciting experience, and I am thrilled to create melodies that will live and breathe on stage with such talented performers and singers," he added.

The premiere date and venue for the play have not yet been announced. More details about its run are expected to be shared soon.

Anu Malik composing for a stage play? That's a first! His music can be very emotional, so it might fit perfectly. Hope the songs have the same magic as his old film compositions. Good to see theatre getting such big names.

The cast and crew list is impressive. Shaan and Sukhwinder Singh for playback? Wow. But I do hope the story has depth and isn't just a vehicle for the music. Sometimes these 'all-star' projects focus more on names than substance.

Fantastic! More power to Indian theatre. We need big productions like this to get more people into auditoriums. The theme is very relatable in today's fast-paced, connected-yet-lonely world. Hope they tour in Delhi after Mumbai!

Swaroop Sampat and Anupam Kher together on stage after so long? That's a nostalgia trip! Their chemistry will be something to watch. Gajendra Ahire is a solid director too. Hope the tickets aren't priced for only the elite.

Interesting collaboration. Anu Malik's work has been hit or miss for me in recent years. I hope for this play, he goes back to the melodic roots that made him famous. The premise about familiar strangers is a universal one.
