 Pankaj Kapur shares his thoughts on his role

Talking about his character Gopal in Jab Khuli Kitaab, Pankaj Kapur said, “What makes Jab Khuli Kitaab truly special is Saurabh Shukla's vision. It's rare to find a filmmaker who sheds light on old, mature love—and that too with such honesty, humor, and love. Saurabh has created a story that is not only refreshing but also very real. He reminds us that love doesn't fade with age; it grows, becomes difficult, hurts, and heals. It was a great challenge to portray a man who is rediscovering love in the most unexpected way. I'm grateful to be a part of a story that depicts this stage of life with such dignity, authenticity, and emotional depth.”

Dimple Kapadia thanked the makers

Speaking about playing Anusuya, Dimple Kapadia said, “When Khuli Kitaab truly felt like a project that met all my needs. A beautiful story, the opportunity to work with Pankaj Kapoor, and under the direction of Saurabh ji, all while enjoying the beauty and divine energy of the mountains. Anusuya is written with such depth and honesty that it was fun to explore her many shades. What drew me to her was the simplicity of her intentions: she's not trying to break her marriage. She's trying to be honest in it. That kind of honesty, especially after decades of being together, requires immense emotional courage. It's great to play such a nuanced character, and I'm grateful to Applause Entertainment and Hindi ZEE5 for supporting stories that are bold, intimate, and deeply human.”
