Rajkummar Rao to act alongside this actress in his next
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,October 28 2021]
Few weeks ago, it was announced that actor Rajkummar Rao is going to collaborate with filmmakers Bhushan Kumar and Sanjay Gupta for his next film. This upcoming sociopolitical drama is titled 'Bheed' and it'll be directed by Anubhav Sinha himself. Latest buzz around the project suggests that makers have roped in Bhumi Pednekar as the female lead opposite Rajkummar Rao.
Talking about the casting, Sinha said, That’s the quality this character needs to have. I couldn’t have asked for a better cast. These are performers who not only shine every time they are on screen; they elevate the written word to create magic on screen. I am blessed to have the team I am working with.
Bhumi herself is super excited to work with Anubhav Sinha. She said, He shares my value system in believing that movies have the power to shift mindsets. As artists, the responsibility of telling such stories lies with us. Same goes for Bhushan Kumar who allows his writers, directors and actors to be gutsy, giving them the confidence like being the inspired producer he is. This is a crackling subject and I can’t wait to get on to the journey of this film.
The film will be shot in Lucknow for the most part and it is supposed to go on floors by November.
