Uunchai is Sooraj’s first film in seven years. Billed as a drama, the film is about four friends – Amitabh, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani and Danny Denzongpa. Apart from them, Parineeti Chopra, Neena Gupta, and Sarika also feature in Uunchai. The film is slated to be released on November 11.
As quoted by Indian Express, Sooraj said, “I remember meeting sir (Amitabh) for the narration of Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon and he listens ‘apalak’ (without blinking his eyes) and you cannot face the gaze, it’s not easy. When I wrote this script, I messaged him and he had given me time for a zoom meeting. I sat for the meeting, taking two anxiety medicines because it is not easy to face sir.”
