Mumbai, May 1

Legendary actor Anupam Kher has announced his 551st film titled 'Flicker', describing the project as marking a fresh beginning and feels like "the first step again".

Taking to Instagram, Kher shared the first look at his latest project. Despite an extensive filmography spanning over 550 films, he said Flicker "feels like the first step again."

Reflecting on his long career, the actor noted that he has consistently chosen to challenge himself rather than repeat earlier work.

"FLICKER! Film number 551. And yet... it feels like the first step again. I have always believed that if you don't challenge yourself...you slowly start repeating yourself. So I chose the harder road. To reinvent... not just the actor in me... but the person I am becoming," he shared.

Describing the film as a search for something deeper, he added, "To step into uncertainty. To make it difficult.To search for something... real. FLICKER is that search. Extraordinary in its spirit. Quiet in its preparation. The story... for now... will remain a secret."

The actor also confirmed that shooting for the film has already begun, while keeping details of the storyline under wraps. "The story... for now... will remain a secret. But I promise you when it reaches you, it will stay with you."

Kher further sought blessings from his fans, expressing hopes for their continued love and support. "Today is Day 1. A new beginning. A new leap of faith. As always... I need your love. Your blessings. Your good wishes. Wish me luck. I need it! #Flicker #Day1 #551stFilm #NewBeginnings"

Alongside 'Flicker', the actor has a busy slate ahead, including projects like 'Khosla Ka Ghosla 2', the sequel to the much-loved 2006 film directed by Dibakar Banerjee. The original film remains a cult favourite for its relatable storytelling, humour and strong ensemble performances.

In addition to this, Kher also has several other projects in the pipeline, including the upcoming film 'Fauzi', which stars actor Prabhas in a key role.

Impressive dedication from Mr. Kher. 551 films is mind-boggling. But honestly, I hope this one has a fresh story and isn't just another formulaic Bollywood drama. The secretive approach gives me hope though. Let's see.

Anupam ji is a legend no doubt, but 551 films and counting - at some point quality over quantity matters. I'm skeptical if the magic of his earlier work like Daddy or Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara can be replicated. Hope Flicker proves me wrong! 🤞

The man reinvented himself from a theatre actor to Bollywood legend to global projects. And now he's still pushing boundaries at this age. "Flicker" sounds intriguing - something fresh and meaningful. Yeh dil maange more! ❤️

I respect his longevity, but honestly, I haven't been excited by an Anupam Kher film in years. Most recent roles feel like he's just collecting paychecks. The "Fauzi" project in the pipeline with Prabhas sounds promising though - hope he brings his A-game there.

551 films and still so humble - "I need your love, your blessings." This is why India loves Anupam ji! And Khosla Ka Ghosla 2??? That's the real news for me! The first one was pure nostalgia. Can't wait for both projects. 🔥
