Ramayana Part One: Mahesh Bhatt Pens A Heartfelt Letter For Anupam Kher

It is well known that Bollywood’s ace actor Anupam Kher lent his voice for Jatayu in Ramayana movie. As the film turned into a massive blockbuster, most of the actors are also congratulating the whole team for their tremendous effort through social media. Even Jatayu’s fight sequence with Ravana made the audience sit at the edge-of-the-seats. Thus, Anupam Kher is also being praised for his amazing work. Of late, even Bollywood’s ace filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt penned a heartfelt letter for Anupam on social media.

Mahesh letter reads, “A MESSAGE FROM MAHESH BHATT

Anupam,

From B. V. Pradhan in Saaransh to Jatayu in

Ramayana-what a journey. The rise and the rise and the rise of you. I am so happy for you.

I loved seeing you in Sweden. That experience seems to have entered your body somehow. You look different. I saw the way you shook hands with people—your whole hand, your whole attention given to the person in front of you. You have never looked so sure of yourself, and so free of yourself.

It took me back to that old woman in the park in Saaransh. Pradhan has let go of his son Ajay's ashes, and there she is, playing with the children. The way you looked at her. That was your Buddha moment. Life had struck you, and something of that moment has stayed in your eyes, your body, your heart. I saw it again in Sweden.

I keep thinking of that 28-year-old actor and that 34-year-old filmmaker talking in the compound of my home in Pali Hill. What did we give each other that day? I don't know. I could never have imagined all that would follow.

You make me so, so happy. I feel the happiness of someone who once held your hand and now watches you go where I could never have taken you. And somewhere, a boy from the hinterland will see you and dare to come here with his own impossible dream.

What more can I ask for, Anupam? What more can I ask for?

All my love, Mahesh Bhatt”.

Even Anupam also thanked Mahesh Bhatt and also penned a gratitude note. “You are my mentor, my friend and my teacher. To receive these words from one of the finest directors, writers and authors of our country means more to me than I can express. Thank you for believing in me, for seeing my journey with such generosity, and for being such an important part of my life. I will keep striving to do work that makes you proud—and perhaps earn a letter like this from you every now and then. With immense gratitude and love, Anupam”.
