Actors Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra’s friendship is famously known. The two often share banter on social media and stand up for each other from time to time. Last week, Arjun shared the first look poster of Parineeti’s ‘Uunchai’, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, and Boman Irani. Directed by Sooraj Barjatya and produced by Barjatya’s family banner Rajshri, the movie marks Parineeti’s first film with the revered production house.
‘Uunchai’ will feature the actress playing Shraddha Gupta, and is the story of three friends who take a trek to the Everest base camp. Arjun, who has worked with Parineeti in films like his debut romantic-drama ‘Ishaqzaade’, ‘Namaste England’, and last year’s acclaimed ‘Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar’, shared the poster and called ‘Uunchai’ a “special film”.
“She was my first co-star, she was my first heroine and this is her first #Rajshri film. This is to all the beautiful firsts. This one is for you Pari! With all heart, I bring to you, my dear friend Parineeti as Shraddha Gupta from #Uunchai! A special film by Sooraj Barjatya. See you at the movies on 11.11.22 Love and luck to Team Uunchai!” he wrote.
Parineeti wrote on her Instagram stories that Arjun launching her poster from the film was not a surprise but a “shock” and called him her “original, sach ka, asli dost (one true friend)”. In another story, Parineeti said she was touched by the gesture, which she said was a rarity in the “insecure world.”
“Arjun launching my first look from Uunchai is one of those ‘moments’ in our friendship and in our life. In this insecure world, people don’t do that. This is a core memory that I will cherish forever. Sometimes in this crazy career, a gesture like this can make you smile, really smile from within. Love you baba. You are the best. Baaki sab phone pe (rest everything over call),” she wrote.
Parineeti is currently seen on the big screen in her latest release ‘Code Name: Tiranga’, which is performing poorly at the box office. It is her first big screen release after last year’s washout, ‘Saina'.
