The film which is being directed by Amit Masurkar will see Rajkumar play the title role. Rajkumra, the youngest national award winner will yet again present a new and different avatar in the film.

Rajkumar Rao, who has proven his acting skills in films like Shahid & Citylights is all geared up to kick start the shooting of the film. The actor has won immense praises for his powerful performances in his previous films which leaves a strong impact on the audiences.


The actor confirmed the news and added `"Yes, it's the journey of a common man who aspires to be someone in life and heads to a jungle infested with Naxals. It's a really funny story. I've been reading a lot of scripts but at the same time am being careful and choosy. Manish Mundra, who's made Ankhon Dekhi and Masaan, got in touch and as soon as I read it, I knew this was it."

The shoot of the film will commence sometime during November - December.

Rajkumar who is known for delivering varied kinds of roles & performances will also be seen in Ramesh Sippy's Shimla Mirchi & Hansal Mehta's Aligarh.
