How often do you see Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Boman Irani and Sarika in a single frame? Not that frequently, right? But Parineeti Chopra made us meet this “class of cool” via her latest post. In the caption, the actress sang praises of her Uunchai co-stars and director Sooraj Barjatya's experiences in the film industry. “Class of cool. Here comes 350 years of experience in a frame, together. Uunchai,” wrote Parineeti alongside a finely edited video featuring herself, Big B, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Neena Gupta and Sarika from the sets of their upcoming film. With their heads held high, the Bollywood veterans are seen striding towards the camera in the video. Some monochrome clips show them interacting with each other on the sets of the film that also stars Danny Denzongpa.
Saif Ali Khan's sister and jewellery designer Saba Pataudi found the video “fabb.” Fans were left in awe after watching the legendary stars in one frame. “350 years of experience in a frame together… mind-blowing,” wrote one user. Another commented, “Yes, super cool.”

Parineeti Chopra's “class of cool” video arrived a day after Sooraj Barjatya's Rajshri Productions dropped the trailer of Uunchai. It is the story of four friends, played by Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani, Anupam Kher and Danny Denzongpa. Danny's character Bhuvan pitches the idea of climbing Mount Everest together when they meet after years. However, the other three dismiss the idea, citing their age. But when Bhuvan dies suddenly, they decide to fulfil his last wish and trek to Mount Everest base camp. Parineeti Chopra plays the role of their trek leader in the film.

Parineeti Chopra also shared the fun poster of Uunchai and wrote about being a part of this "special ensemble." An excerpt of it read, "Humbled to be a part of this special ensemble! Here we come."
Uunchai is another addition to Amitabh Bachchan and Anupam Kher's long list of collaborations. They have worked together in films like Hum, Insaniyat, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Sooryavanshi and Main Azaad Hoon.
Big B has also worked with Boman Irani in Runway 34, Veer-Zaara and Waqt: The Race Against Time, among others. Amitabh Bachchan's last film – Goodbye – was with Neena Gupta.
Uunchai will open to theatres on November 11. It also stars Nafisa Ali Sodhi.
