Sharing an animated poster of the film on his social media, Kher wrote, “ANNOUNCEMENT: It’s good to be 69 years young! Super excited to be starring in @yrfentertainment’s #Vijay69 in the lead: a quirky slice-of-life film for OTT about a man who decides to compete in a triathlon contest at the age of 69. Let’s put the show on the road! Jai Ho! My #537th.” The poster shows Kher riding a bicycle.
