Mumbai: Filmmaker Hansal Mehta’s upcoming untitled thriller, which recently went on floors, will feature late actor Shashi Kapoor’s grandson Zahaan Prithviraj Kapoor. Jahaan is the son of Kunal Kapoor and Sheena.
The film also stars Aditya Rawal, who has previously worked in an OTT project, and is co-produced by Anubhav Sinha.
On selecting the cast, Hansal Mehta said: “With the subject in hand, I was very keen to do this film with new faces. Both Jahaan and Aditya have been chosen on the basis of their talent and ability. They The characters they play are very complex and I am sure the audience will love them too.”
Anubhav Sinha says he wanted the audience to focus on the characters instead of having any preconceived notions about seeing the stars on screen.
“Jahaan and Aditya bring new energy and excitement to their roles. Hansal and I wanted to cast new actors in this human story as we want the audience to feel that they are with preconceived ideas about the characters rather than any of the stars in the film. We have already started shooting for the film and the hard work that these two are putting in is appreciable.”
The film also marks a production collaboration between Anubhav Sinha and Bhushan Kumar.
