A milestone project in Stockholm
Kher described the experience as one of creative fulfilment and warm camaraderie, despite shooting in extremely cold weather. 'I've had the most wonderful time in Stockholm, working creatively and sharing these days with an extraordinary group of people! Talented artists, award-winning professionals and a truly remarkable crew,' he wrote on a photo-sharing app.
He added that the project had captured his imagination from the moment he first read the script, making it stand out even among his extensive body of work spanning over five decades.
What Kher Said About the Team
In a lengthy and heartfelt note, Kher offered individual thanks to key collaborators. He praised Sunil Munshi for his 'brilliant script and equally brilliant performance', director Jens Johnson for 'extraordinary direction and kindness', and producers Julia and Siri for bringing him into what he called 'this beautiful journey'. He also singled out co-actor Noah, cinematographer Sophia, makeup artist Daniela, and crew members Natelie, Flora, and Bonnie by name.
'You have all made me feel so welcome and cared for. You kept me warm with your love,' Kher wrote, encapsulating the warmth he found on what was otherwise a physically demanding cold-weather shoot.
Memories Beyond the Camera
'I came here to make a film, and I've made special memories too. That is something I'll carry with me long after the cameras stop rolling,' the actor noted. Despite wrapping his own portions, Kher revealed the remaining crew still has four more weeks of filming ahead, and he signed off with an encouraging message for the team to 'give it your all'.
Kher's Expectations for the Film
The actor signed off his post with quiet confidence about the film's reach. 'I have a feeling this film will travel far and touch people deeply,' he wrote, suggesting 'Out of Fashion' could transcend its Swedish origins for a wider international audience. This comes at a time when Indian actors increasingly feature in international co-productions, reflecting the growing global appetite for cross-cultural cinema. At 556 projects, Kher's filmography remains one of the most prolific in Indian film history.
Point of View
With Kher citing the script as the draw. Whether the film delivers on his optimism will be worth watching — international co-productions featuring Indian stars have had an uneven record at finding global distribution.
