Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Tigmanshu Dhulia, two well-known names in the Hindi film industry, are finally joining forces in an exciting new project. The duo, who have shared the screen in several acclaimed films, will collaborate for the first time in a musical thriller titled “Woh Phir Kabhi Dikha Nahi.”
This film is adapted from a short story by the respected poet and author Uday Prakash. While not much is revealed about the story, it is said to take place in a slum in Delhi. Reports suggest that the shooting for the film has already wrapped up, and it is anticipated to premiere on a streaming platform by the end of this year.
“Woh Phir Kabhi Dikha Nahi” marks Siddiqui’s second venture revolving around life in a slum. He previously portrayed a clever slum dweller in “Serious Men,” where he fabricated a tale about his son being a mathematical prodigy. In contrast, this new project is expected to be a more dramatic thriller infused with musical elements.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui was last seen in the Netflix film “Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders” and is currently filming “Tumbbad 2,” a highly awaited folk horror movie directed by Sohum Shah. Following that, he’ll also appear in “Blind Bahu,” a dark comedy directed by Ravi Varma, known for his work as a stunt director on significant films like “Raees” and “Gadar 2.” Additionally, Siddiqui is set to star in a local adaptation of the popular American medical drama series “House,” which will be released later this year.
On the other hand, Tigmanshu Dhulia is looking forward to the release of his new crime thriller “Ghamasaan,” which is set to debut on ZEE 5 on September 11. This film, featuring Arshad Warsi and Pratik Gandhi, draws inspiration from the life of notorious bandit Dadua, and it marks Dhulia’s return to directing after six years. The film also stars Rajpal Yadav and Ishita Dutta and is crafted by writers Piiyush Singh and Ram Yash Singh.
As both talents gear up for their upcoming projects, fans are eagerly awaiting to see what they will deliver together in this unique musical thriller.
