Anupam Kher Shares 'Made In India' Football Fantasy

Sharing photos on his Instagram handle, Anupam wrote, "Sometimes life imitates sports… and sometimes it takes a very Indian turn! Yesterday I was shooting for an ad in football gear against a green screen. The job was simple—stand there, perform, and let technology do the rest. But then my imagination decided to represent India in its own World Cup! Using the actual pictures shot on location, I started creating different football images."

He added that he was suddenly on a football field, charging towards the goal in an India jersey, surrounded by teammates, opponents, and a cheering crowd, "not bad for a man who was actually standing in front of a green screen a few minutes earlier." He called it the beauty of imagination, which doesn’t care about budgets, locations, or even reality.

'My Little Football Fantasy'

"It simply blows the whistle and says, “Game on!” So here’s my little football fantasy—MADE IN INDIA, powered by imagination, and played with great enthusiasm. Happy Football World Cup! May your imagination always score the winning goal," wrote Kher.
