A Haryanvi Jaat role? Randeep is going to nail it, no doubt. He has that intensity and rawness. Shooting in rural Haryana will add so much authenticity. Excited to see him back in a desi, rooted character after a long time.
Congratulations to him and his wife on the baby girl! 🎉 But I have to say, jumping into a new shoot schedule just a week after becoming a father? Hope he's getting enough time with his family. Work-life balance is important, yaar.
The creative team having five National Award winners is seriously impressive. That alone gives me confidence in the project. Content-driven films inspired by true events are what we need more of in Bollywood.
Interesting topic. From fake health products to dubious investment schemes, misleading advertisements ruin lives. If the film handles this well, it could create a real impact. Good to see a South producer backing it too - pan-India appeal.
He's one of our most underrated actors. Always gives his 100% to every role. Fatherhood might bring a new depth to his performances. All the best, Randeep sir! Waiting for this and 'Eetha' with Shraddha.
