The video started with Anupam, dressed in a white T-shirt, grey pants, and a cap, standing near a car. It was seen stuck on a narrow road surrounded by greenery. A small wall separated the set and the actor.
In the clip, Anupam said, 'Aaj mera driver yaha par film ki shooting ke liye rasta bhool gaya. Dekho jungle mein le aaya. Shooting meri uss taraf hai (Today my driver forgot the route to my shooting here. See he brought me to a jungle. My shooting is on the other side)." The camera showed a forest-like area at first, and then the sets on the other side of the wall.

A smiling Anupam gave a glimpse of several people standing near the wall to help him. He said, 'Ab jo unit ke baaki log hai, woh mujhe jungle se seedhiyon pe chadhake leke jayenge. Dekho, kya kya karna padta hai iss profession ke liye (Now, the other people of the unit will take me from the jungle via a ladder. See what all I've to do for this profession)."
Laughing, he said, "Sab log mujhe lene aaye hai. Gaadi meri atak gayi hai (Everyone has come to take me. My car is stuck here)." The actor then stood on a chair and stepped on a ladder before climbing the wall with ease. After reaching the other side, he thanked those who helped him. Sharing the video, Anupam wrote, "Iss taraf se uss taraf (From this side to that)! In my 40 years of cinema journey, I have entered my shooting locations in different ways! But today was not only unique but quite comical too."
"Shooting in Hyderabad for #Prabhas starrer untitled film, my driver decided to be adventurous. Soon we entered a jungle kind of a place and then hit a dead end. Car couldn't be reversed! What happened next please watch it here! #KuchBhiHoSaktaHai," he concluded.
