Veteran actor Anupam Kher made a special visit to the iconic Lalbaugcha Raja pandal in Mumbai for Ganpati darshan, choosing to attend without any VIP arrangements. Sharing his experience on social media on Monday, September 1, Kher expressed how attending like an ordinary devotee made the visit feel even more fulfilling.

“Today, I had the privilege of visiting Lalbaugcha Raja. I went without any VIP arrangements, which made it feel even more special,” he wrote alongside photos from his visit.

The actor also lauded the dedication of devotees and the seamless management at the pandal despite the massive crowd. “What stood out was the love of the devotees and the kindness of the organisers. Despite lakhs attending, the discipline and management were truly commendable. The devotees’ devotion towards Ganpati is unwavering. Ganpati Bappa Morya,” Kher added.

On the professional front, Kher was last seen in Tanvi The Great, a film he also directed. He is now gearing up for his next project, The Bengal Files, in which he portrays Mahatma Gandhi.

Directed and written by Vivek Agnihotri, the film explores the communal violence in undivided Bengal during the 1940s, including events like the 1946 Direct Action Day and the Noakhali riots. The Bengal Files is scheduled for release in theatres on September 5, 2025.
