He said that Mehar “isn’t just a release… it’s relief”.
Raj added: “Day 1 worldwide collections are ALL for Punjab flood support. Be part of sewa, be part of history.”

Directed by Rakesh Mehta, Mehar stars Geeta Basra, who is making her acting comeback after a long hiatus.
Speaking about her return, she said: “When Mehar came to me, I just couldn’t say no. It’s such a deep and meaningful story, with a powerful message that speaks directly to the heart.
“As an artist, you wait for a film that resonates with you on every level, and Mehar is exactly that.
“It’s a blessing to be part of something that I know will connect with families everywhere.”

The cast also includes Master Agamveer Singh, Deep Mandeep, Ashish Duggal, Baninder Bunny, Savita Bhatti, Rupinder Rupi, Hobby Dhaliwal, Tarsem Paul, and Kulvir Sony.
Set in a Punjabi village, Mehar is a heartfelt story of a man seeking a second chance at life.
Once a source of pride for his family, he now struggles to become the father, husband, and son they once believed in. Though life has taken much from him, he hasn’t lost his will to try again.
It is Raj Kundra’s second acting project after UT69, which drew inspiration from his time in prison.
Meanwhile, Punjab is facing one of its worst floods in decades.
At least 37 people have lost their lives and vast stretches of farmland have been destroyed. Families across the region have been left devastated as agricultural land remains submerged.
