The Gujarati cinema scene has been abuzz with the release of “Vishwaguru,” a film that marks a significant step for the industry with its unique blend of drama, mystery, and spiritual themes. Directed by Atul Sonar and Shailesh Boghani, the movie hit screens on August 1, 2025, and has garnered attention for its unconventional subject matter and a cast that bridges different cinematic worlds.
The film’s plot centers on a compelling narrative: a foreign organization attempts to impede India’s progress through manipulative tactics. However, instead of a conventional action-packed response, the Indian Bureau, led by a character played by veteran actor Mukesh Khanna, counters this threat using the profound wisdom found in ancient scriptures. This approach, which emphasizes spiritual and intellectual power over brute force, sets “Vishwaguru” apart.
A major highlight of the film is the debut of Bollywood and television actor Mukesh Khanna in Gujarati cinema. Known for his iconic roles like Bhishma Pitamah and Shaktimaan, Khanna’s presence has been a key talking point. He delivers his dialogues in Hindi, a creative choice by the filmmakers to ensure his character’s authenticity while making the film accessible to a wider audience. The ensemble cast also features popular Gujarati artists like Gaurav Paswala, Krishna Bhardwaj, Shraddha Dangar, and Kurush Deboo, promising a strong and well-rounded performance.
With its thought-provoking theme and a cast that combines experienced Gujarati actors with a celebrated Hindi film veteran, “Vishwaguru” aims to deliver a message about the power of wisdom and inner strength in overcoming external challenges, all packaged within an engaging mystery narrative.
