Nana Patekar, dressed casually with a blazer, hat, and loose tie, holds a bag, while Utkarsh, more relaxed in a vest and unbuttoned shirt, carries a bottle. The tagline, “Apne hi dete hain apnon ko…Vanvaas,” hints at the film’s emotional depth and themes of family bonds and displacement.
In a previous interview with Pinkvilla, Anil Sharma described Vanvaas as a modern-day emotional epic, with themes that would resonate deeply with the audience. Set in the backdrop of Banaras and incorporating the sacred Kumbh Mela, Sharma emphasized that the story would be a journey of life, filled with emotional trauma and connections that every individual could relate to.
Sharma, who is known for his work on films like Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and Apne, has built a legacy of emotional storytelling with patriotic and family-centric themes. His latest offering, Vanvaas, promises to carry forward that tradition, blending heartfelt emotions with relatable experiences. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how Sharma’s direction, combined with the stellar cast of Nana Patekar, Utkarsh Sharma, and supporting actors like Rajpal Yadav and Simratt Kaur Randhawa, will come to life on the big screen this Christmas season.
