(MENAFN- NewsBytes) Nandita Das, who had helmed the highly acclaimed biographical drama Manto (2018), starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui, is all set to direct another exciting project. As per reports, she has booked actor-comedian Kapil Sharma for the leading role in the upcoming yet-to-be-titled movie. We have learned that the final formalities between Das and the host of Comedy Nights with Kapil are under process. Here's more.
Significance Why does this story matter?
A source close to the development has confirmed that it will not be a comedy. So, unlike his other films, we will most likely see Sharma in a new avatar. This project will mark Das and Sharma's (one of India's most popular stand-up comedians) first collaboration in the industry. Moreover, it will be interesting to see him playing a non-comic role in a movie.
