‘Saaransh’
Directed by Mahesh Bhatt, ‘Saaransh’, was the debut movie of Anupam Kher as a lead actor. He played the role of a sexagenarian while in his real age at that time was just 28. Another interesting fact is that it was the first, and the only movie, of Sooraj Barjatya as an assistant director. Later he directed Kher in blockbusters such as ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun’ and ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo’.
