Mumbai, Aug 27
As the coming-of-age sports drama film “Iqbal” completed 20 years in Hindi cinema, actor Shreyas Talpade celebrated the moment and said that “this is where it all began.”
Shreyas shared a string of stills from the film. The first had “This is where it all began” written on it. Some other images had “20 years today”, “thankful”, “grateful”, “blessed”, “thank you for all the love over the years” written on it.
The actor captioned the post: “This is where it all began! Thank you for being the biggest support in my career and making an impact in my life. Love you guys.”
Iqbal is directed and co-written by Nagesh Kukunoor. Produced by Subhash Ghai, under "Mukta Searchlight Films," the story follows a cricket-obsessed deaf and mute boy from a remote Indian village as he aims to overcome difficulties to become a cricketer and fulfill his dream of playing for the Indian national cricket team.
The film, which was released in 2005, received the National Film Award for Best Film on Other Social Issues.
