MC Mary Kom unveils the poster of 'Shiv Shastri Balboa' starring Anupam Kher

MC Mary Kom unveiled the posters of Shiv Shastri Balboa, an inspirational film of a common man with uncommon adventures starring Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Jugal Hansraj, Nargis Fakhri, Sharib Hashmi at Actor Prepares.

Anupam Kher and Mary Kom, both ardent admirers of each other, spoke of acting and boxing. Mary Kom taught Kher a few moves that he religiously learned and even sparred with Mary Kom in a mock match with a friendly ring. 

Sharing the pictures on his Instagram handle Anupam wrote, "Dearest #MaryKom! Thank you for being amazingly gracious and release the poster of our film #ShivShastriBalboa. You are a #NationalIcon and your life journey is hugely inspirational. I am personally humbled & honoured to get the opportunity to wear #BoxingGloves standing next to you! आप भारत की शान हो!🥊🥊😎" 

Talking about the launch, Anupam Kher said,

"I wanted the poster to be released by a national icon associated with sport, especially boxing. Mary Kom is so real and so warm-hearted. She was generous with her praise. She loves the fast game and hates ad film retakes. And admits that with ease. She is the pride of India."

Visibly humbled by Mary Kom's simplicity of personality and her uninhibited laughter, Anupam expressed,

 "Those who laugh aloud and are always good-hearted. I always admired Mary Kom, but I am simply overwhelmed by her humility today. She is a true champion."

Shiv Shastri Balboa is a wacky film, the story of two strangers who meet in America and how their life takes a new turn. It is funny, wacky, it is crazy, it's inspirational. His pug whom he fondly calls Capsule has his opinion on almost everything, and it is communicated to the audience in blurbs.

Presented by UFI Motion Pictures, Anupam Kher Studios, and Tarun Rathi, Shiv Shastri Balboa is Produced by Kishore Varieth, Directed by Ajayan Venugopalan, Ashutosh Bajpai is the Executive Producer of the film.
