Anupam Kher shared his look on his official #instagram as Tagore and captioned it, "Delighted to portray #Gurudev #RabindranathTagore in my 538th project. Will reveal the details in due course. Ye mere saubhagya hai ki mujhe gurudev ko parde par saakaar karne ka saubhagya prapt hua hai. Jald hi is film ki adhik jankaari apke sath sanjha krunga."
Rabindranath Tagore was the first Indian to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913; he composed the national anthems of India and Bangladesh, as well as many other songs. He is recognised by various names, including Gurudev, Kabiguru, and Biswakabi, and is also known as 'the Bard of Bengal.'
Fans flooded the comment area with red hearts and fire emoticons shortly after Anupam Kher released the initial glimpse.
