Rajkummar Rao Bags Bejoy Nambiar's 'Focus'

After winning the coveted National Award for his film Shahid, Rajkummar Rao seems to be on a roll. With Hansal Mehta's much talked about film Citylights in the pipeline for release and the actor currently shooting for Dolly Ki Doli, Rajkummar has now bagged Bejoy Nambiar's upcoming film Focus.

Earlier it was reported that, Roja actor 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.

Akarsh Khurana, a famous theatre personality and proprietor of Akvarious Productions will be directing Focus. The shooting of the film will commence in the last week of May in Kerala.
