Action time

The achievement of Ek Paheli Leela, the talented Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 5 Winner will be seen in a brand new avatar in R-Vision’s edge-of-the seat thriller Udanchhoo.

Ravindra Singh’s R-Vision India Pvt Ltd announced that they have signed Rajniesh Duggal for their upcoming movie. The film also embraces the entry of Director Vipin Parashar, who has brought No Exit and CM Saab, into prevalent Hindi cinema and the first appearance of lead actress Saisha who will be seen romancing Rajniesh Duggal.

Commenting on the choice of Rajniesh as the main actor, Vipin said, “Udanchhoo for me is a very special film as it would be my first full-length Hindi financial film. It was thus important for me to get every bit right.

Given that the main role would need to pull off a difficult action-thriller role with a significant emotional factor, my agenda for the casting company was a difficult one. Then one day I just met Rajniesh casually and it immediately struck me that he was perfect for the role — good looking, tall, fresh from Khatron Ke Khiladi and a talented actor all in one.

I instantly made him the offer and he agreed. But there were calendar issues and we had to go with Gautam Gulati. But fate had its own strange way and Gautam then had date issues and Rajniesh had just these dates free. It was really amazing for me as he was my original choice for the role anyway.”
