There have been many heartwarming stories that our films have told, and another such tale that has legit left me with tears is Salaam Venky. Starring Kajol and Vishal Jethwa in lead roles the film is based on a truly incredible story of a mother who fights through every challenge her son faces with a life-threatening illness and helps him live life to the fullest. This celebration of life is helmed by Revathy and also stars Rahul Bose, Rajeev Khandelwal, Prakash Raj, and Aahana Kumra in pivotal roles. The trailer of the film left me with quite a heavy heart, especially seeing the mother-son bond Sujata and Venkatesh share.

Watch the trailer here:

Talking about the film Kajol says,

I feel, I am very fortunate to play the role of Sujata in Salaam Venky and also being directed by Revathy. Since the day I heard about the idea of the film, it touched my heart too deeply and I knew I definitely wanted to be a part of this wonderful story.

Revathy also shares,

Salaam Venky is a project that is extremely close to my heart. I’ve always believed that mothers are real heroes and through Salaam Venky, it’s my absolute pleasure to be able to tell this incredible true story of a similar mother and her unconditional love for her son.

The extraordinary story about love and life and the beautiful dynamics a son shares with his mother deserved no better day than today to show its glimpses. Yes, on Children’s Day, I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Having said that, Salaam Venky is presented by Connekkt Media and produced by Suuraj Singh, Shraddha Agrawal, and Varsha Kukreja under the banner BLIVE Productions and RTAKE Studios, the film is set to release in cinemas on 9th December 2022.
