Sushant Singh Rajput To Play Dacoit In Film That Was Earlier Slated To Star Ranveer Singh

Abhishek Chaubey, who shot to fame overnight after drug drama Udta Punjab, will soon start working on a film, which revolves around the dangerous dacoits of the infamous Chambal Valley in the 70s.

We have also heard that Sushant Singh Rajput has been signed up to play the lead, but did you know that the role was initially slated to go to Ranveer Singh? Yes, it is true! The makers of the film were initially keen to cast Ranveer in the role, but as he was unavailable, they decided to approach SSR instead as they were quite impressed with his work in MS Dhoni: The Untold Story.

Rajput will be next seen in Dinesh Vijan's directorial debut Raabta.
