Rajkummar Rao & Manoj Bajpayee to star in Shoojit Sircar’s upcoming mythological comedy
Shoojit Sircar is set to return to comedy with a bold new project, a mythological comedy starring acclaimed actors Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao.
According to industry sources, Sircar is venturing into a fresh sub‑genre of humour rarely explored in Indian cinema. The film promises to blend mythology with sharp wit, offering audiences a unique take on comedy that stands apart from conventional storytelling.
Production is scheduled to commence in 2026, with the project already being described as one of the most unconventional films to emerge from the Indian industry.
