Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 7 (ANI): Actor Anil Kapoor has extended warm birthday wishes to fellow actor and his longtime friend Anupam Kher. The 'Subedaar' star posted a video, showing him land up at his neighbour aka Kher's residence to send his greetings.

In the video, Kapoor and Kher shared a wholehearted exchange as they caught up with each other while also having several moments of laughter. At one point, Anil Kapoor even sang a song for his friend, leaving Kher delighted.

''Tere ghar ke samne ek ghar banaunga...' Kabhi kabhi lagta hai yeh line mujhe thodi bhaari pad gayi... because the neighbor can land up anytime...without informing...constantly coming and going! But honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. Happy Birthday my dear friend @anupampkher Love you!' Kapoor wrote in his story.

Celebrated music composer M M Keeravani, in a special gesture, even composed birthday song for the video.

Recalling the surprise while speaking to ANI, Kher said the call came right at midnight and left him 'deeply touched.' Sharing how the composer told him he had just created a new song especially for him, the actor spoke about how special it felt to receive such a gesture from an Oscar-winning musician.

'I got a call from MM Kreem sir, at 12 o'clock. It was a video call. He asked me, 'Anupam ji, what are you doing?' I said, 'I'm here.' Then he said he had just composed a brand-new song for me. Can you imagine? MM Kreem, an Oscar-winner, composed something for me on my birthday and sent it to me,' the actor told ANI.

'What could be a greater joy than this? This is what I've worked for,' he added.
