Directed by Anil Sharma, ‘Vanvaas’ stars Utkarsh Sharma and Nana Patekar in lead roles.

The teaser of film was unveiled during Dussehra on October 29 and it hinted at a story which revolves around family, honour, and sacrifices.

Speaking about the film, director Anil told IANS, “It is a story in which we have tried to show that a father is above all. It is a film that will get into everyone, and every father will watch the film and then tell their sons to go watch it. ‘Vanvaas’ is also an emotional journey, where I say, ‘apne hi dete hai apno ko vanvaas’. I am trying to tell the biggest truth in the world because it is very relevant in today’s time.”

The film is slated to hit theatres on December 20, this year.
