Mumbai, Jan 6 : Veteran actor Anupam Kher has lauded the internationally acclaimed film "All We Imagine as Light" by Payal Kapadia and said that it has left a profound impact on him.

Talking about the film, which has made its OTT debut, Anupam said: "'All We Imagine as Light has left a profound impact on me. It's rare to come across a film that not only tells a story but also stirs something deep within you. The narrative, the visuals, and the performances all come together so seamlessly, creating an experience that lingers in your heart. I want to congratulate the entire team for their incredible hard work and for earning the recognition they truly deserve."

Heaping praise on "All We Imagine as Light", he said it reminds why cinema is a strong medium.
