This year has been quite fruitful for actor Anupam Kher as he has starred in box office successes like 'The Kashmir Files' and 'Karthikeya 2' and now he is all set for the release of 'Uunchai' in which he'll be seen sharing screen with Amitabh Bachchan and Boman Irani. In a recent conversation with The Indian Express, Anupam talked about the current state of Hindi cinema and the effect of pandemic on it.

He stated, "I think people have changed in the last two years. With the Covid and lockdown, the audience has gone through a change. Anything that is fake doesn’t touch them, anything that is real, they will go for it."

When asked about the negativity surrounding Hindi cinema, Anupam Kher gave example of his own work and shared that good films are still being appreciated. He said, "If it is a good film, it will do well. Karthikeya 2 is the biggest example. It opened in 50 cinema halls in Hindi and by the end, it reached 2000 screens. Same with Kantara. Why is it happening? Because it is something genuine. If you look at it, and I say it proudly, The Kashmir Files did Rs 350 cr, Karthikeya 2 did 130 crore. I am riding on Rs 480 crore right now! So, I am rocking."

Directed by Sooraj Barjatya and also starring Danny Denzongpa and Parineeti Chopra, 'Uunchai' is set to release on 11th of November.
