MUMBAI: Shoojit Sircar’s much awaited return to humour is not just ambitious, it’s monumental. The acclaimed filmmaker, known for bringing warmth, wit and sharp observation to films such as Vicky Donor and Piku, is now stepping into an entirely new space with his first ever Mytho Humour entertainer. The project is already making noise for all the right reasons.
The makers have revealed that a massive, elaborate set is being constructed by Sardar Udham National Award-winning production designer Mansi Dhruv Mehta. Inspired by a key chapter from the Mahabharat, the world being built blends mythology with a contemporary and satirical lens.
Adding to the excitement is the stellar ensemble. Alongside the lead duo, Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao, the film officially welcomes Saurabh Shukla and Vineet Kumar Singh to the cast. Both actors, celebrated for their versatility and their command over humour and drama are expected to bring a fresh dynamic to this inventive retelling.
Produced by Rising Sun Films and Kino Works backed by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar, the film is in full scale pre-production with the set construction currently underway. The project is slated to go on floors early 2026.
