Janhit Mein Jaari: Nushrratt Bharuccha starrer goes on floors, actress to essay role of condom sales executive

Actor Nushrratt Bharuccha is set to headline the upcoming quirky comedy film "Janhit Mein Jaari", the makers announced on Thursday. The movie, written by Raaj Shandilyaa of "Dream Girl" fame, will be helmed by debutant director Jai Bantu Singh.

Bharuccha, known for starring in films such as "Pyaar Ka Punchnama" series, "Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety" and "Chhalaang", will play a very "different character" in the new movie, the makers said in a statement. The shoot of "Janhit Mein Jaari" commenced on Thursday in Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh.

The movie will also feature actors Anud Dhaka, Annu Kapoor and Paritosh Tripathi in pivotal roles. It will be produced by Vinod Bhanushali under his banner Bhanushali Studios Limited and Think Ink Picturez in association with Shree Raghav Entertainment LLP. It is being written by Dream Girl director Raaj Shandilyaa. The film was originally scheduled to be shot at UP, but the location was changed to MP due to the COVID situation. Raaj in an earlier interview had said, "According to the guidelines, we cannot shoot in Uttar Pradesh. The state witnessed a spike in cases, and things may be improving now, but we cannot venture into the state until further notice. It’s a small-town story, so these places serve as ideal locations. We are tweaking the story to suit the new locale.”

Besides "Janhit Mein Jaari", Bharuccha will next be seen in horror film "Chhorii", Akshay Kumar-starrer "Ram Setu" and "Hurdang" with Sunny Kaushal.
