In 1984, the brilliant film-maker Mahesh Bhatt found a ‘miracle’ of an actor in Anupam Kher for his cult classic `Saaransh`, produced by Rajshri Films. Mahesh moulded a young, ambitious and angry actor into a 69 year old grieving father on screen and the rest is history. Anupam Kher never looked back since then and, through his sheer acting prowess, forever wrote his name on the chapters of Indian cinema. With a career spanning four decades and having acted in more than 540 films, Kher is definitely one of the most glorious actors the film industry can ever have. 

Today, on the release date of `Vijay 69`, Mahesh Bhatt surprised his long time friend Anupam by presenting him with a special 40 year commemorative poster of Saaransh - a film that told the world that here was an actor who would become a legend one day.
