According to sources close to the development, Rajkummar Rao is playing the part of a gangster in Pulkit’s next directorial. “It’s an out-and-out commercial entertainer featuring Rajkummar Rao as a gangster. The makers plan to shoot the film extensively in Uttar Pradesh followed by some chunk in Mumbai, as the entire story and character is rooted in UP. Rajkummar is excited to explore this character and will be doing some readings and workshops with the team in the first week of September,” revealed a source close to the development.
The source further added that the film will hit the big screen in the middle of 2025. “The makers are planning a theatrical release in mid-2025.

We hear that Raj and Manushi will also have a fresh romantic track in the film. Meanwhile, Rajkummar Rao is presently gearing up the release of the Amar Kaushik-directed Stree 2 on Independence Day.
