Kapil Sharma to shoot for Nandita Das’ upcoming project in Odisha Capital

Bhubaneswar: Bollywood Actor Kapil Sharma will star in the next venture of Writer-Director-Producer Nandita Das and the filming of the upcoming flick will be done in Bhubaneswar. Taking to Twitter, Das informed today about her next project.

Das also stated on the social media that Shahana Goswami will star opposite Kapil Sharma as the female lead. Goswami will play the role of Kapil Sharma’s wife whereas Kapil Sharma will essay the role of a food delivery rider.

Nandita Das Initiatives and Applause Entertainment will collaborate to produce the yet-to-be-titled project.

Movie trade analyst Taran Adarsh also took to the Twitter and informed shooting for the upcoming movie has been slated to begin later this month.

“The film attempts to make visible what’s hidden in plain sight. And for this, the cast and crew have serendipitously come together. One day, Kapil Sharma popped up on my screen! I hadn’t seen his show, but I could see him wholly representing the ‘common man’, despite not being one anymore. I am certain he will surprise everyone, including himself, with his natural candidness. I am looking forward to working again with Shahana, an amazing actor and person. And in Sameer Nair, I have found a true producing partner,” said Das.

In his reaction Kapil Sharma said, “I am very excited about this project, not because I am doing a film, but because I am doing Nandita Das’ film, whom I have seen both as an actor and a director. She has a very district and deep way of looking at things and a keen eye for detailing…An artist is always thirsty to do something different. The people behind the project, Nandita Das and Sameer Nair are both extremely passionate and good at what they make. So I am really excited to be doing this film.”

Sameer Nair, CEO of Applause Entertainment, said, “Nandita first narrated this idea to us as a short. We loved it so much that we actively encouraged her to expand it into a full feature. And we are elated to say that the idea is blossoming into a wonderful film that captures the lives of the invisible ‘ordinary’ people who actually keep in this country and our economy running…We are mighty excited to see Kapil and Shahana in an entirely new light under Nandita’s able direction.
