Neha Sharma and Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Kushan Nandy's 'Jogira Sara Ra Ra', a slice-of-life film about an oddball couple, is a departure from his last outing, 'Babumoshai Bandookbaaz' (2017). The director, weary from the action thriller's dark theme, says he was more than happy to switch to a lighter subject. "I had exhausted myself with the serious and dark [story]. I wanted to experiment with a fun subject," he states.
The two movies may be poles apart, but the filmmaker found himself envisioning Nawazuddin Siddiqui as the leading man again. Nandy, who wrapped up 'Jogira Sara Ra Ra''s shoot in Uttar Pradesh last month, acknowledges that their second collaboration has brought them closer. "Nawaz has become a habit for me. We have an unspoken tuning and understand each other completely. It helps if the director and actor are in sync. I can assure you that the audience hasn't seen Nawaz in such an avatar before; it's a quirky role." The movie features Neha Sharma as Siddiqui's love interest.
