First look of Anupam Kher's Happy Birthday out

The first look of Anupam Kher and Aahana Kumra's Happy Birthday is out. The short film's poster features Anupam standing inside a room, holding a pink dress in his hands, with Aahana standing right behind him. Directed by Prasad Kadam, the short film recently made it to the final of the Paris Play Film Festival and was also selected for the New York City International Film Festival.

Speaking about the film, Anupam says, "I enjoy working with young talent as they are enthusiastic and eager. The short film is especially exciting and it gives me an opportunity to do something different. I'm glad that Happy Birthday is garnering international recognition. Congratulations to the entire team." 

Aahana adds,"I said yes to the film the minute I read the script. I thought it was a very powerful script. It's a dark thriller. I am so excited that it has been selected for the Paris Play Film Festival and I look forward to the finals because I really think this film has great potential. Director Prasad (Kadam) has done a fantastic job along with the entire team. So happy to be sharing screen space with Anupam sir once again."

The short film will mark Anupam and Aahana's second collaboration after 2019's The Accidental Prime Minister.

Happy Birthday is scheduled for release later this year.
