At 69, Anupam Kher is far from done. Whether it is romance or fitness training, he is ready for it all

Aspirations Unbound

The circle is far from complete, I am somewhere in the middle", says Anupam Kher as he celebrates four decorated decades in the film industry. The veteran's journey in Bollywood began as an experiment; a 28-year-old who decided to play a 65-year-old bereaved father in Mahesh Bhatt's Saraansh. Now, at 69, Kher has decided to tackle the subtext of age being just a number in his latest film Vijay 69.

Directed by Akash Roy, the film sees the actor in the role of Vijay, a widower who takes on the daunting task of competing in a triathlon. The biggest obstacle is his entourage of so-called supporters, who chide him with the obvious: he is too old for it.
