Veteran Actor Brijendra Kala is gearing up for his upcoming film 'Good Luck' which is set to release on April 5. Based on a story of a 75-year-old woman's unexpected pregnancy, the film, directed by Prakhar Shrivastava, will mark the debut of 80-year-old Malti Mathur as the lead actress, playing Kala's mother. Produced by Dr.(Er.) Azad Jain under the Asha Azad Films banner, 'Good Luck' also features Manisha Chitrode, Dr.(Er.) Azad Jain, Tulika Banerjee, Ashutosh Upadhyay, Pannkaj Waagle, Sagar Shende, Ayushi Shukla, Keshav Sharma, Bhushan Jain, and Virendra Nathaniel in prominent roles.

Talking about what prompted him to take up the film, Brijendra Kala said,"I'm absolutely thrilled to be working on this movie. The filmmakers approached me with the screenplay, and I absolutely adored it. 'Good Luck' promises a heartwarming story with a sharp satirical edge, skewering our social media-obsessed culture, all while weaving in suspense that will leave a lasting impression." 

Giving insights about his role, he stated, "I'm playing Pappi, an aspiring politician whose meticulously crafted plans are thrown into hilarious disarray by the unexpected news of his mother's pregnancy. As Pappi navigates the delicate dance between his political ambitions and this unforeseen turn of events, the situation spirals into delightful chaos." 

Stressing on the subject of the film, Kala added, "The script is king for me, and I'm always up for the challenges it throws my way. This film is a powerful reminder of the importance of cherishing our elders and making time for meaningful connections, especially in our social media-saturated world. The director and producer are both making their exciting Bollywood debuts, and their dedication is truly inspiring." 

The film has been compared to Amit Sharma's 'Badhaai Ho' and the director has recently addressed the comparisons. In a video shared by the makers of Good Luck, Sharma said, "I recently saw the trailer, and I don't believe there's any resemblance to Badhai Ho. Good Luck tackles a very different subject and offers a fresh perspective that isn't set in the same universe as Badhai Ho."
