Nargis Fakhri to team up with THIS Bollywood actor for a Hollywood project

Actress Nargis Fakhri will be teaming up with the National Award winning actor Rajkummar Rao for a Hollywood project titled as ‘5 Weddings’. It will be a feature film directed by Namrata Singh Gujral and will star Nargis Fakhri, Rajkummar Rao along with Hollywood actors Bo Derek and Candy Clark.

Rajkummar revealed about the same to a leading daily and here’s what he had to say,

“Namrata saw some of my work on Netflix and other platforms following which I was approached to play the leading man who’s a cynical cop with Punjab Police. My character called Harbhajan is assigned to escort Nargis’s character, an Indian girl raised in the US who has come down to India to do a magazine feature on Indian weddings. What had seemed like a simple assignment turns complicated thanks to this cop who is convinced it’s an espionage operation. It’s a feature film and Nargis and I are together in the film. It will go on floors by November, once I finish shooting for ‘Bareily Ki Barfi’. We will be shooting in Chandigarh and LA. As far as Nargis is concerned, I feel she is a fantastic and lovely girl. I haven’t met her yet, but I have seen her work in ‘Madras Cafe’.”

He also talks about his happiness over Indian actors getting more opportunities in the West. “I feel very fortunate and I think it’s a fantastic time for all the actors. Look at Deepika Padukone, Irrfan Khan, Priyanka Chopra… they all are doing such a fabulous job. I am glad that the west is considering our Indian talent. I am in a happy space right now.”

It will be interesting to see the unique pairing of Rajkummar Rao and Nargis Fakhri.
