EXCLUSIVE: Vanvaas actor Utkarsh Sharma opens up on the heart-wrenching reality of ‘kid guilt’ in the pursuit of success
“You start working because you want to give your parents a better life. Otherwise, what’s the reason to go out, work, and earn money? But at times, you get so busy and stressed with work that you forget your real intentions and who you’re doing it for,” Utkarsh shared. “You also get irritated by hectic schedules and work pressure. Vanvaas addresses this very idea of ‘kid guilt.’ After watching it, you might feel like calling your parents or hugging them if they were here. We often become effortless in expressing love to our parents, and as we grow older, we forget when we last hugged them.”
Vanvaas follows the story of Deepak Tyagi (played by Nana Patekar), a retired father suffering from dementia. On his birthday, he is abandoned by his sons in Varanasi. Lost and struggling to find his way back home, Deepak meets Veeru, a small-time thief. Their unexpected bond leads to moments of reflection and change as Deepak searches for his family. The film explores themes of abandonment, dementia, and strained family relationships, highlighting the consequences of neglecting loved ones. With an ensemble supporting cast including Rajpal Yadav, Simrat Kaur, Khushbu Sunder, and Ashwini Kalsekar, the film is written by Anil Sharma, Amjad Ali and Sunil Sirvaiya, and produced by Zee Studios and Anil Sharma Productions.
By addressing these emotional struggles, Vanvaas resonates with audiences who find themselves caught between professional commitments and personal responsibilities.
