Rajkummar Rao has been roped in to play the lead role in ‘Thappad’ director Anubhav Sinha’s socio-political drama film, ‘Bheed.’ This news has left all the fans excited for the duo’s collaboration.
The shooting of the film will commence in Lucknow in November this year. ‘Bheed’ is jointly produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Anubhav Sinha’s Benaras Mediaworks.
Sharing the excitement, Rajkummar said: “I am thrilled to be working with Anubhav Sinha. It’s a matter of great honour and privilege to collaborate with a filmmaker who has such a distinct voice. Reuniting with Bhushan Kumar feels like coming back on home turf after the success of Ludo last year. I have always found myself gravitating towards stories that trigger conversation. Even as an entertainer, I want my work to get people thinking. This is an important subject and the character needs me to stretch myself as an artist, beyond my comfort zone. I can’t wait to start shooting and lose myself in this universe.”
On the work front, currently, Rajkummar is awaiting the release of his upcoming film, ‘Hum Do Hamare Do’ with Kriti Sanon, Paresh Rawal, and Ratna Pathak Shah. The film will release on Disney+Hotstar on October 29, 2021.
Next, the ‘Roohi’ actor will be starring in the Hindi remake of the Telugu thriller ‘HIT’ which was released last year and will start Sanya Malhotra in the lead. He also has ‘Badhaai Do’, a sequel to the 2018 comedy-drama ‘Badhaai Ho’ with Bhumi Pednekar.
