Rajkummar Rao and Fatima Sana Shaikh are in Bhopal to shoot for Anurag Basu's untitled next. The Barfi director is helming a film on the lines of his 2007 film, Life In A Metro, which garnered much love. Both the actors, who are collaborating for the first time have started their 15 day schedule in Madhya Pradesh's capital and they cannot contain their excitement. Rao and Shaikh took to Instagram to share glimpse of their stay.
Now, Rao has shared their first look in which both the actors are posing against the beautiful backdrop of lake and historical monument. While Fatima is clad in simple plain saree, Rao is seen in a look, which seems similar to Varun Dhawan's character Mauji in Sui Dhaaga: Made In India. However, we know that makers would have tried something different and unique.
''Jald hi paltenge,'' Rao captioned as he shared the picture in his Instagram story. Well, we have no other option than to wait for them to turn.

On a related note, Anurag Basu's film has Rajkummar Rao, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Aditya Roy Kapur and Abhishek Bachchan in pivotal roles. Taapsee Pannu was also to be part of the cast but she opted out as there was no confirmation on her dates. Basu wanted Taapsee to play opposite Aditya Roy Kapur.
Meanwhile, 2018 was a successful year for Rajkummar Rao as he got his first Rs 100 crore film, Stree. The movie co-starring Shraddha Kapoor was also critically acclaimed. On the other hand, Fatima's Thugs of Hindostan tanked at the box office.
