Rajkummar Rao Confirms Collaboration with Shoojit Sircar for Upcoming Film

Actor Rajkummar Rao has officially confirmed that he will be starring in acclaimed director Shoojit Sircar’s next film, putting an end to months of speculation surrounding the much-anticipated collaboration.

Speaking to PTI, the Stree and Badhaai Do actor expressed excitement about working with Sircar, known for helming critically acclaimed films like Vicky Donor, Piku, October, and Sardar Udham.

“There were reports earlier, and yes, I am doing the film. It’s not a two-hero comedy film as people speculated. It’s set in Shoojit Da’s world. It’s about a guy and his journey. It’s an amazing story,” Rao said.

While details about the project remain under wraps, the film is expected to reflect Shoojit Sircar’s signature storytelling style—subtle, emotionally rich, and grounded in realism. Rao’s confirmation marks the first official word about the project, which is still untitled and rumored to feature another prominent male actor in a key role.

This collaboration is already generating buzz among cinephiles, as both Rao and Sircar are known for choosing content-driven cinema. Rao’s strong performances across genres and Sircar’s distinct directorial voice promise a film that could stand out in the year’s lineup of releases.

Production details and further casting announcements are expected in the coming weeks. Until then, fans of meaningful cinema have something exciting to look forward to.
