    Sunny Kaushal To Pair Up With Nushrat Bharucha For Hurdang!

    Looks like Lady Luck has walked into the Kaushal family. While brother Vicky Kaushal is on a roll and has his hands full in work, Sunny Kaushal too is not lagging behind. The actor, who did an excellent job as Himmat in Gold, has signed yet another film, and this time he would be seen opposite Nushrat Bharucha. The film will be called Hurdang and it will also star Vijay Verma of Gully Boy fame.

    The film will be a love story set in the 90s in Allahabad (now Prayagraj). To keep the feel of the film authentic, it will be shot entirely in Allahabad and it will go on floors on July 1st. Hurdang will be directed by Nikhil Bhatt. Talking about the film, the director told Mumbai Mirror,

    "This is a story inspired by true incidents. In the year 1990, as a kid, I saw thousands of youngsters getting involved in a fight for their rights. They fought for two whole years. They were angry on being taken for granted and for two years their lives came to a standstill. Every other day there was a bandh or a dharna. The students’ agitation was not politically motivated; they were fighting for their rights. Lots of lives were lost and lots of lives were rendered directionless. They say, love stories coming out of duress stand tall. Hurdang is a love story set in those times."

    The film will be produced by Shailesh R. Singh, who has also produced filsm like Tanu Weds Manu, Shahid, Madaari and Aligarh and is bringing the upcoming films Jabariyaa Jodi and Mental Hai Kya. Talking about the film and the cast, he said,

     "It’s a young, restless love story from the 90s. People in 1990s were innocent and vulnerable. They didn’t have the advantage of technology the way youngsters have now. There was a deep desire to fight for their cause and claim their right. Sunny, Nushrat and Vijay fit in quite naturally. Sunny and Nushrat play students coming from different ideologies and backgrounds, but a couple destined to be together. They play childhood lovers who have grown up together. They bring innocent and palpable energy, naturally into the story."

    Nushrat Bharucha will be seen opposite Rajkummar Rao in Turram Khan and Ayushmann Khurrana in Dream Girl. She will also be seen in a special song in Marjaavan. On the other hand, Sunny Kaushal has bagged Bhangra Paa Le opposite Shriya Pilgaonkar. He will also work opposite Radhika Madan in a love story called Shiddat which will also star Mohit Raina and Diana Penty.
