Shiv Shastri Balboa: Anupam Kher On US Adventure To Help Neena Gupta

Shiv Shastri Balboa is the story of an extraordinary personality of an ordinary person. The film will make you laugh and awaken a beautiful feeling in your heart.

Anupam Kher released the trailer of his next movie Shiv Shastri Balboa on his YouTube channel on Tuesday. 

Anupam is introduced in the more than two-minute-long clip as a boxing coach who helped athletes win gold medals rather than as a boxer.

Anupam’s Shiv Shankar Shastri, also known as Shiv Shastri “Balboa,” was seen in the video flying to the US to meet with his son Jugal Hansraj and his family. 

He becomes discouraged, though, when he learns that Jugal’s children are unaware of the movie Rocky, which he considers is a “philosophy.”

The character of Neena Gupta, who hasn’t gone home in eight years, is the next person Anupam encounters. 

She wants to fly to India. Shiv decides to assist her, and they go on a journey during which Neena misplaces her stuff and passport. 

The two begin working at a gas station after meeting Sharib Hashmi, the proprietor of a convenience shop. Anupam and Neena also have a good time going to bars and bowling.

However, when Neena is detained because she is “wanted,” things take a tragic turn. She implores Anupam to lend a hand. Anupam, a huge fan of Rocky, is next spotted with some bikers. 

Along with Neena and the bikers, he also travels by car. Anupam is seen visiting Philadelphia’s Rocky Statue in the trailer’s epilogue. The unplanned road trip taught the Indian retiree that it’s never too late to start over.

Ajay Venugopalan is the film’s director, and Kishore Varieth is its producer. UFI Motion Pictures, Tarun Rathi, and the Anupam Kher Studio disapprove of it. 

On February 10, the upcoming film will be released in theaters. Anupam, Neena Gupta, Jugal Hansraj, Sharib Hashmi, and Nargis Fakhri appear in the film.
