Rohan Mehra, who made his silver screen debut with an impressive performance in Nikkhil Advani’s production Baazaar (2018), has signed his second film. According to reports, the newcomer has been roped in to headline Ellipsis Entertainment’s next venture.
“There was earnestness in Rohan in his debut that has endeared him to everyone. He played a difficult, layered role with amazing competence for a debutant,” said Tanuj Garg of Ellipsis Entertainment.
Atul Kasbekar, the owner of the production house adds, “The role we have for him is both novel and interesting. He has very kind and warm eyes and the character is a contradiction to what you’d normally gravitate to casting him. It’s a fabulous opportunity for an actor and we’re confident he’ll repay our faith”.
Though the makers are tight-lipped about the plot of the film, from what we hear it boasts of a script that has an international appeal. The project is still untitled and the name of the leading actress opposite Rohan Mehra is expected to be announced soon.
Rohan is the son of late actor Vinod Mehra. Before entering Bollywood, he spent most of his life in Kenya.
