Rajkummar Rao in Bejoy Nambiar's Focus

By Bollywood Hungama News Network, May 14, 2014 - 17:47 hrs IST

After bagging the National Award for his film Shahid, Rajkummar Rao seems to be on a roll. With Citylights in the pipeline for release and the actor currently shooting for Dolly Ki Doli, Rajkummar has now bagged Bejoy Nambiar next titled Focus.

Earlier, we reported that Arvind Swamy will be seen after decades as a lead in this film. However, it seems that the idea did not materialize and now Bejoy has roped in Rajkummar to play the role. Bejoy revealed that the script has undergone a makeover and hence Arvind won't be a part of it anymore. He also stated that Focus will be a film on road trip with elements of drama and comedy.

Directed by theatre personality Akarsh Khurana, Focus is slated to go on floors by the end of May in Kerala.
