“Anupam just heard the script read by Sooraj sir and was so moved by it that he was curious to find out who all were in it. He made the call as soon as he heard that I had rejected the movie, added the 3 idiots actor.”

Irani stated that he knew Kher’s intentions behind all the scolding; it was pure love.

He added: “I knew that behind all of the scolding was pure love, friendship, and his care for me. He genuinely wanted me to do this film because, according to him, I would be a part of history. He was certain that with this cast, 'Uunchai' would smash records.”

“And he was correct; I had the best time of my life while working on this film; it was a spiritual experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life, concluded Boman.”
