Vidyut Jammwal has been cast in a biopic, a first for the actor. The film, titled Sher Singh Raana, will include him in the lead role.
Sher Singh Raana will tell the tale of a politician who made news twice: first for slaying Indian dacoit-turned-parliamentarian Phoolan Devi and again for transporting the ashes of Hindu Rajput monarch Prithviraj Chauhan from Kandahar, Afghanistan, to India.
Vidyut Jammwal expressed his delight at being invited to join the cast of ‘Sher Singh Raana,’ saying, “‘Sher Singh Raana’ marks my first biopic.” When the part of Sher Singh Raana presented itself to me, I believed it resulted from divine intervention. I’m looking forward to working with Vinod Bhanushali and Shree Narrayan Singh.”
According to the film’s director, Shree Narrayan Singh, Vidyut would go into uncharted territory due to the film’s setting a precedent.
The director went on to say that although Vidyut has dominated the action space, “in this picture we see him take on a role he has never tackled before.”
“‘Sher Singh Raana’ will shed light on a tale that caused a commotion in India years ago,” says Vinod Bhanushali, collaborating with Vidyut Jammwal on the project. “Audiences will watch Vidyut in a role they have never seen him play before, and the vision Shree will bring to life on film will undoubtedly be captivating,” says the director.
The biography of Sher Singh Raana is being produced by Vinod Bhanushali, Kamlesh Bhanushali, Vishal Gurnani of Bhanushali Studios Ltd, and Vishal Tyagi and Mohammed Imran Khan of Matargashti Films.
