Anupam Kher's vision and character

Anupam Kher, the producer and the lead actor, said in a statement that the vision at Anupam Kher Studio is to create innovative, character-driven films that blend with compelling storytelling, fostering unique cinematic experiences that resonate with audiences globally. His roles have always been unique; in The Signature, he played a middle-class man; in Saaransh, Khosla Ka Ghosla, Sansar, and Salaakhen, he was the lead in each. In this film, his character's undying commitment to his wife is what sets him apart. Their bond deepens over the years, going from that of business partners to that of friends. To a large extent, that is what makes this character unique. Kher believes that this character will resonate with everyone, as it draws from the experiences of numerous individuals. This film continues his dedication to presenting stories that capture the spirit of the average person. Through ZEE5, the actor hopes this moving and relatable story finds a home with people from all over the world.

The experience of working on The Signature has been really fulfilling, according to Mahima Chaudhry. It was an honour to work with Annu Kapoor, Anupam Kher, and Neena Kulkarni on this film. The actor related to Kher's character, a sympathetic friend who intervenes at a critical moment to help because she, too, was going through a difficult period at the time. Without a doubt, this film is an inspiring tale of love and sacrifice that highlights the resiliency and power of the human soul. Mahima hopes audiences will find it as uplifting as they did while making it because they will soon see it.

Director Gajendra Ahire's reflection

Working with ZEE5 on the release of The Signature was an absolute dream come true, according to director Gajendra Ahire. His first Hindi film was a joy to work on with such a great crew and cast. Working with such gifted actors, particularly Anupam Kher, whose commitment and genius have taken this film to a level he could never have imagined, has been an incredible blessing for him. The filmmaker brings the story to life in a manner that no one else could, and his performance is intense and poignant. A stellar cast including Ranvir Shorey, Annu Kapoor, Neena Kulkarni, and Mahima Chaudhry makes The Signature a must-see. Everyone put their hearts and souls into this film, and he hopes audiences feel the same.
