Mumbai, May 28
Veteran actor Anupam Kher has commenced the shoot of his next titled "Shri Ram Bhoomi."
The makers, Zee Studios, Dancing Shiva Films, and Cinekorn Entertainment, started the shoot of the drama on an auspicious note on Thursday.
The film is being made under the direction of the National Award-winning filmmaker Kamakhya Narayan Singh and enjoys a powerful cast including Anupam Kher, Ritwik Bhowmik, and Amruta Khanvilkar, along with others.
While the makers have decided to keep the details around the film tightly under wraps, the title "Shree Ram Bhoomi" has already raised excitement about the storyline.
The project promises an intense and compelling cinematic experience rooted in faith, sacrifice, truth, and one of the most consequential chapters in modern Indian history.
Sharing a couple of pictures from the mahurat ceremony, the makers Zee Studios, Dancing Shiva Films, and Cinekorn Entertainment wrote on social media, "A title that echoes emotion.A story shrouded in intrigue.The journey of #ShriRamBhoomi officially begins. Starring @AnupamPKher #RitwikBhowmik and @AmrutaOfficial . Directed by @KamakhyaNarayan (sic)."
In addition to this, Kher will be seen reprising his beloved character of Kamal Kishore Khosla in the second installment of the 2006 film "Khosla Ka Ghosla!".
Directed by Dibakar Banerjee, the sequel will feature a couple of familiar faces from the original drama, including Boman Irani, Parvin Dabas, Ranvir Shorey, Kiran Juneja, and Tara Sharma. Adding some freshness, Ravi Kishan has also been roped in to essay a crucial role in "Khosla Ka Ghosla 2".
His exciting lineup also includes a yet untitled drama with Sooraj Barjatya.
Kher enjoys a long professional and personal association with Barjatya, who was the 5th assistant for his first film "Saaransh", which recently completed 42 years of release.
The cast, crew, and storyline of the film with Barjatya have been kept under wraps for now.

Hope they handle this sensitive topic with maturity and not turn it into propaganda. Cinema has the power to heal or divide - let's see which path they choose. The cast is solid though.
Ram Mandir is not just a temple, it's the soul of India. Great to see such an important subject getting the big screen treatment. Anupam ji will do justice to this role! Jai Shri Ram 🚩
Interesting title but I hope this isn't just political pandering. We need more nuanced cinema that explores faith without sensationalism. Also thrilled about Khosla Ka Ghosla 2! That's the real news 😄
Anupam Kher is timeless! From Saaransh to this, what a journey. The man can act in anything. Shri Ram Bhoomi sounds powerful - hope the makers focus on the real story behind the movement, not just the politics.
Honestly, I'm tired of Bollywood making films about every political event. There are so many other stories to tell. But Kher is a legend, so maybe I'll give it a chance. Also, Khosla Ka Ghosla 2? Yes please! 🙌
