For a number of years, Shoojit Sircar has been at the helm for films such as Vicky Donor, Madras Café, Piku, October, Sardar Udham, and more. This director has managed to carve out his own unique space in the hearts of audiences, often moving between different genres. His latest film with Abhishek Bachchan, I Want To Talk, unfortunately did not perform well at the box office. Since then, there have been discussions within the industry about Shoojit Sircar’s future projects. However, we can now confirm that TopMob has learned exclusively that Shoojit Sircar has finalized a script for his next film and plans to start shooting in the latter half of 2025.

Based on insider information, it appears that Shoojit Sircar’s next project will be a humorous film featuring two main characters, and Rajkummar Rao has officially signed on to play one of these roles. For some time, Rajkummar Rao and Shoojit Sircar have been discussing the possibility of working together, and they are now in agreement about this as-yet unnamed satirical comedy. Rajkummar Rao is keen on the script and plans to begin filming towards the end of 2025, according to a source familiar with the project’s development.

Shoojit is currently seeking a co-star to work alongside Rajkummar Rao. The ideal candidate should be an authentic actor with a knack for comedy, and someone who allows creative freedom during filmmaking. Shoojit values collaboration with reliable individuals.
