Anupam Kher drops BTS from 150-million-view Reel: 'Treated it like a national mission'
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Veteran actor Anupam Kher on Wednesday shared a behind-the-scenes video from the Instagram Reel that has now crossed 150 million views, revealing how he and his co-stars approached the lighthearted clip with the gravity of a blockbuster climax. The BTS footage, which Kher posted on X (formerly Twitter), has added a fresh layer of comedy to an already viral moment.
What Kher Said
In his post, Kher expressed both amusement and gratitude. '150 MILLION VIEWS… and still counting. When we shot this reel, we had absolutely no idea it would reach 150 million views on Instagram alone. We approached it with such seriousness and innocence as if we were shooting the climax of the most important film of our lives,' he wrote.
He credited Boman Irani's makeup artist Amrita for quietly capturing the candid BTS moments. 'The funniest part? Boman Irani's makeup artist, Amrita, quietly kept filming the behind-the-scenes moments. And believe me, the BTS is even funnier than the reel itself. Watching four supposedly 'experienced' actors rehearsing, discussing, correcting each other and treating a simple reel like a national mission is comedy in itself,' he added.
The Cast and the Viral Reel
The original Reel brought together the reunion of Khosla Ka Ghosla co-stars — Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Ranvir Shorey, and Parvin Dabas — set to the trending 'Teri Galiyon Mein Mohabbat Hogi' audio, a track that gained widespread traction following its association with protests at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. Kher also noted that the young woman seen laughing while filming the BTS is Kangan, who plays a significant role in the upcoming sequel.
Fan Response and Sequel Buzz
Audiences praised the cast's natural chemistry and effortless comic timing. Beyond nostalgia, the Reel has functioned as an organic promotional tease for Khosla Ka Ghosla 2, stoking fan anticipation for the sequel. The clip has been widely appreciated as a rare example of veteran actors embracing Gen Z-style short-form content without losing their signature charm.
What's Next
With the BTS now circulating and fan enthusiasm at a high, the momentum around Khosla Ka Ghosla 2 appears to be building organically ahead of its release. Whether the sequel can translate viral goodwill into box-office numbers remains to be seen.
