Akshay Roy reflects on Vijay 69

Reflecting on the film, Writer and Director Akshay Roy said, “Vijay 69 is about second chances and the gap between ‘what we thought we’d become and what we became’; it is about passion, determination and that timeless ingredient called perseverance – whether you’re overcoming life’s hurdles or training for a triathlon. Working with Anupam Sir was a gift — not only did he commit himself fully to the part; but he also brought a depth and authenticity to the role that only the rarest of actors can. It was also a pleasure to work once again with my producer, Maneesh Sharma, to bring this YRF Entertainment and Netflix collaboration to fruition. The intention has been to craft a feel-good film that will, hopefully, resonate with audiences across generations. ”
