Comedian Sunil Grover, who has been part of films like
Ghajini and
Gabbar Is Back, has reportedly bagged a role in Vishal Bhardwaj's
Chhuriyaan. He will play the male lead.
Ahmedabad Mirror reports that Sunil Grover will feature in a crucial role and actor Vijay Raaz of
Kaalakaandi also joins him. "I am very happy to have Sunil Grover and Vijay Raaz as the two unconventional male leads of my film. Sunil plays a crucial and major part and I was surprised to know what a big star he is," Vishal Bhardwaj told
Ahmedabad Mirror.
Dangal star Sanya Malhotra and TV actress Radhika Madan of
Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi play the female leads in the comedy drama.
Of his film, Vishal Bhardwaj told
Ahmedabad Mirror, "All the actors are already learning a beautiful Rajasthani dialect for their roles. Since the narrative has a lot of scope for music, I am working on a five to six song album, packed with folklore and Rajasthani flavour. There will also be a very interesting dance number that I am looking forward to film."
Sunil Grover currently hosts a web show Dhan Dhana Dhan during the Indian Premier League (IPL) matches. For the show, he has collaborated with
Bigg Boss 11 winner Shilpa Shinde.
He famously played the roles of Dr Mashoor Gulati and Rinku
Bhabhi on

After Kapil Sharma's show, Sunil Grover made guest appearances for shows like
Indian Idol 9, Sabse Bada Kalakar and
Super Night with Tubelight.
