After the massive success of Gadar 2, director Anil Sharma is ready to present a new emotionally rich story with his upcoming film Vanvaas. With Nana Patekar and Utkarsh Sharma in lead roles, the film promises to offer a contemporary take on the Ramayana, exploring themes of family, sacrifice, and relationships. Known for his talent in creating gripping narratives, Anil Sharma's Vanvaas has all the potential to be another hit.

The film is expected to resonate with viewers on a personal level, focusing on the ties that bind families.

In an interview, Nana Patekar, who plays the central character in the movie, shared his thoughts on Vanvaas. He said, "Whenever I go to watch a film, especially during school days, if I identify with the characters on screen, then the film feels personal. It feels like the story belongs to us. This is the kind of film Vanvaas is." He further added, “The identification will be so strong that it feels like the story of every home. When I first heard the story, it resonated with me deeply. As a normal person, it pleased me. I loved it. There’s nothing extraordinary, just the need to remember our own past experiences and bring them to life.”

Director Anil Sharma described Vanvaas as a deeply personal project, exploring themes of love, sacrifice, and complex family relationships. He shared that the emotional depth in the film is what drives its story. Anil Sharma mentioned, “This film reflects emotions that we often keep buried deep inside ourselves. It’s not just a story but a journey to understanding the essence of family, honor, and belonging. Nana Patekar, Utkarsh, Simrat, and Rajpal Yadav have brought unmatched depth and authenticity to their roles. I’m excited for the audience to witness their performances on the big screen.”

Vanvaas, written, directed, and produced by Anil Sharma, will hit theaters on December 20, 2024. The film stars Nana Patekar, Utkarsh Sharma, and Simratt Kaur in lead roles and will be released worldwide by Zee Studios.
