Abhishek Bachchan headliner Kaalidhar Laapata, the Hindi remake of the 2019 Tamil comedy-drama KD, will be landing on ZEE5 on July 4, the actor announced on Thursday.
The film is directed by Madhumita, who also helmed the Tamil version featuring Mu Ramaswamy and Naga Vishal. Sharing a poster of the film on social media, Abhishek wrote, “चर्चाओं पर अब फुल स्टॉप! (The talks should now be stopped). Sometimes, getting lost isn’t a detour, it’s where the real story begins. Full of dreams, twists, and the people who make it worth it.”
The film also features child actor Daivik Baghela and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, among others.
As per a press note shared by the makers, “Set against the vibrant backdrop of rural India, Kaalidhar Laapata is a soulful tale of second chances and unexpected friendships. The story follows Kaalidhar (Bachchan), an aging man who escapes after discovering his family’s plan to abandon him. His journey takes an unexpected turn when he meets Ballu, a spirited eight-year-old orphan whose boundless energy and curiosity reignite Kaalidhar’s will to live—and live fully. Together, they set out on an impromptu road trip, ticking off a bucket list and building a bond that defies age and circumstance.”
Madhumita shared the poster and wrote, "Sometimes, getting lost isn’t a detour, it’s where the real story begins. Full of dreams, twists, and the people who make it worth it."
Kaalidhar Laapata has been produced by Zee Studios and Emmay Entertainment.
Abhishek was recently seen in Housefull 5. Kaalidhar Laapata will be the third film in recent time where the actor’s character explores a relationship with a child. Previous two being I Want To Talk (2024) and Be Happy (2025).
