The film will be a social comedy based in a small town of Uttar Pradesh. It is reported that the film will be produced by Ajay Devgan and Luv Ranjan. Talking about the film, Hansal Mehta told Times of India, “I am delighted to be collaborating with Luv on this comedy. It is a new chapter in my filmography with Raj (Rajkummar), 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.”
Turram Khan is Rajkummar Rao’s fifth collaborative project with Hansal Mehta. The duo have earlier worked together in films such as Shahid, City Lights, Aligarh and Omerta.
Talking about Turram Khan and his co-actor, Rajkummar said, “’Turram Khan’ is a comedy that the audience will take back home. Hansal sir has played an influential role in my career. He has created some interesting and memorable characters for me, and I trust him blindly. Also, I have known Nushrat since our days of attending auditions and screen tests. So, I am sure that this is going to be a fun collaboration.”
Nushrat was last seen in Sonu Ke Teetu Ki Sweety opposite Kartik Aaryan, while Rajkummar Rao’s Stree with Shraddha Kapoor is going strong at the box office.
The film is slated to go on floors in November this year.
