Bobby Deol and Anurag Kashyap might be teaming up for a gritty thriller, scheduled to go on floors in May.
This year brings many firsts for Bobby Deol. The 55-years old Bollywood star is venturing into South Indian cinema with roles in Suriya’s much-awaited Tamil fantasy epic, ‘Kanguva’, as well as Pawan Kalyan’s Telugu period action film, ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu.’ Moreover, he’s set to play the antagonist in a spy thriller by Yash Raj Films, alongside Alia Bhatt and Sharvari. As if that’s not thrilling enough, Bobby has recently signed on to work with Anurag Kashyap on a mysterious and compelling project.
Recent reports from PeepingMoon.com reveal that Bobby and Anurag are collaborating on a gritty thriller. The film’s plot, based on a true story involving a man wrongly implicated in a rape case, has generated significant buzz despite being kept under wraps. Adapted from an unpublished book by Anurag and two other writers, this project is a long-awaited partnership between the actor and director. Production is scheduled to begin in May, with most filming to take place in Mumbai.
Excitement is brewing as Bobby and Anurag are enthusiastic about their collaboration. Their mutual admiration dates back to 2017 when they first discussed working together. The opportunity finally arose when Anurag pitched this intense script, fulfilling their shared desire to create something impactful. Anticipated to feature an ensemble cast, this film is expected to be on a grander scale compared to Anurag’s recent works. As the director juggles this project, he’s also said to be developing a web series for a major streaming service.
On Bobby’s end, this project adds to his already packed schedule for the year. Alongside his South Indian and pan-India ventures, he’s slated to appear in Aryan Khan’s debut web series, ‘Stardom,’ and Kunal Kohli’s investigative drama, ‘Desi Sherlock.’ Furthermore, the release of his Abbas-Mustan thriller, ‘Penthouse,’ is eagerly awaited after Netflix’s withdrawal, hinting at a potential premiere on another streaming platform.
Hailed as one of the finest actors in the film industry, Bobby Deol has acted in many films including Barsaat, Soldier, etc. He took a sabbatical from the film industry owing to successive flops but made a remarkable comeback with the film Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. He played the role of Abrar ul Haque in Animal and won appreciation despite limited screen time.
