It is a new chapter in my filmography with Raj whose success I see as a vindication of my belief in him. It is also wonderful to be working with Nushrat whose work I’ve followed and liked immensely in the past. This is my first out and out comedy and it is like making my debut all over again!”

Rajkummar, who is still riding high on the success of his recent film Stree adds,"Turram Khan is a comedy that the audience will take back home. Hansal sir plays a very instrumental role in my acting career. He has created some interesting and memorable characters for me. I trust him blindly. I have known Nushrat since our days of auditioning and screen tests. I am sure this is going to be a fun collaboration.”

Nushrat says, “I absolutely love Hansal sir’s cinema and I’m looking forward to play this earthy character rooted in U.P. as the audience will see me in a completely different light. Over the years, Raj’s journey as an actor has been an inspiring one. He and Hansal sir have a formidable camaraderie and I am super excited to work with them,” says Nushrat.
