Critically acclaimed National award winning director, Sudhir Mishra has cast Rahul Bhat as the lead for his forthcoming political drama. The film, still untitled, is set in UP. 

While the star cast has been finalized, the film's lead heroine is currently kept under wraps.

Rahul Bhat is known for his performance on the TV series Heena. However, it was his performance in Anurag Kashyap's much awaited film 'Ugly' that left Sudhir impressed and earned him the lead in his next. 

Speaking of Rahul Bhat and his next film, Mishra said, "Rahul is an immensely talented actor. He is instinctive and has the intensity required for the portrayal of the protagonist. When I saw his performance in Ugly, I knew I had found the perfect lead for my next film."
