“Cinema Emerges Stronger After Pandemic” Anupam pointed out that the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown brought about significant changes in the entertainment industry. However, he believes that cinema will emerge stronger once people regain the confidence to return to theaters.
In conclusion, Anupam Kher’s comments highlight the resilience of the film industry and the power of a well-made film to overcome any obstacle, including boycott trends. He will be seen next in the film “Shiv Shastri Balboa,” set to hit theaters on February 10th.
