Arshad Warsi is the latest actor to join the cast of Bhumi Pednekar-fronted thriller Durgavati. Arshad took to Twitter to announce that he is boarding the film's cast which also includes Mahie Gill. "Excited to have joined the stellar cast and crew of #Durgavati today. Looking forward to a thrilling ride," the actor wrote.
Bhumi also shared a picture of Arshad Warsi posing with director G.Ashok on the sets of the film and captioned the post as "Welcome on board @arshad_warsi sir, I have adored you for years and am so excited to finally get a chance to work with you :) Thank you for becoming a part of this special film."
Durgavati is presented by Bollywood star Akshay Kumar and filmmaker Bhushan Kumar. The film is the Hindi remake of Telugu horror Bhaagamathie, which featured Baahubali star Anushka Shetty.
It follows a woman imprisoned in a haunted house while being interrogated in a corruption case.
Talking about the film, Bhumi had earlier said, ''Durgavati' is going to take me in horror space. It is the most challenging and special film for me as it is for the first time the responsibility will be on my shoulders. 'Durgavati' is something I'm most pressured and excited about. Akshay sir is a genius, I respect him.''
Produced by T-Series and Vikram Malhotra of Abundantia Entertainment, the film went on floors in late January 2020.
Meanwhile, Bhumi has another horror film in her kitty titled Bhoot - Part One: The Haunted Ship. The film also stars Vicky Kaushal. The film is directed by Bhanu Pratap Singh and jointly produced by Karan Johar, Hiroo Yash Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Shashank Khaitan.
