Mumbai: Actor Anupam Kher, who stepped into Bollywood with the film "Saaransh" 25 years ago, will host a premiere of his debut movie on Sunday as it could not be held at that time because of the Bhiwandi riots.

Now, 25 years and 380 films later, Anupam wants to celebrate the beginning of his journey in films and relive the the moments of a first time actor.

He has invited the film's director Mahesh Bhatt and co-stars Rohini Hattangadi and Soni Razdan for the premiere.

According to him, "Saaransh" gave him, a 28-year-old struggling actor then, a fresh lease of life.

"I feel humbled and thankful to God that hard work and honesty had paid off," Anupam told PTI.

"'Saaransh' is not just a film but a philosophy of life. Some films are timeless and 'Saaransh' is one of them," Anupam, who played the role of a 70-year-old man in the film, recalled fondly.

"For 16 more years, I will be younger than my debut screen character," he said.

On the high and low points of his film career, Anupam said both meant a lot to him.

"As you grow older, you mature as a person and that is most important," he said.
