Mumbai, July 31 — Veteran actor Anupam Kher has announced the completion of shooting for filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming film Yeh Prem Mol Liya, reflecting on a professional association that stretches back more than four decades.

In an Instagram post, Kher said the film had officially wrapped and expressed anticipation for audiences to experience what he described as another heartfelt chapter in Barjatya’s body of work. He recalled first meeting the director when Barjatya was working as an assistant on Kher’s debut film Saaransh. Since then, the two have collaborated on more than eight films.

Sharing photographs and videos from the set at Banganga, Walkeshwar, Kher wrote: “And it is a wrap…. Last night, we completed the picture wrap of Sooraj Barjatya’s #YehPremMolLiya. I’ve known Sooraj from the time he was an assistant on my very first film, Saaransh. Since then, we have shared the journey of more than eight films together. Watching him evolve into one of the greatest storytellers of our times has been a privilege.”

He continued: “In a world where cinema, like everything else, is constantly changing, Sooraj has remained beautifully constant. He has protected and celebrated the ethos of Indian families, relationships, compassion and values without ever compromising on honesty or emotion. That is his greatest strength. His films don’t merely entertain, they become a part of our lives. Yeh Prem Mol Liya is another beautiful chapter in that extraordinary journey. It’s a film with heart, grace and a story that touched me deeply from the very first narration.”

Kher thanked the director, cast and crew for the experience. “Thank you, Sooraj, for yet another memorable experience. Thank you to the wonderful cast and crew for the warmth, dedication and love that made every day on the set so special. Now, I cannot wait for all of you to experience the magic of Yeh Prem Mol Liya!!! Some journeys end with a wrap. The beautiful ones begin when they reach the audience. Har Har Mahadev!”

Kher has been a regular presence in Rajshri Productions films, appearing in titles such as Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, Vivah, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Uunchai. Yeh Prem Mol Liya also stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari and is scheduled for theatrical release on November 27, 2026.

The actor’s remarks underscore both the personal continuity of his long association with Barjatya and the consistent thematic focus on family, relationships and emotional honesty that has defined the director’s work.
