Rajkummar Rao to reunite with girlfriend Patralekhaa for Swagat Hai

It's not a secret anymore that after directing Rajkummar Rao in a series of critically acclaimed films such as CityLights, Shahid, Aligarh and Omerta, distinguished filmmaker Hansal Mehta is teaming up with the National award-winning actor once again for a film called Swagat Hai.

However, the latest update on the project is that Rajkummar Rao's girlfriend Patralekhaa might be seen as the female lead in the movie. Rao and Patralekhaa have previously worked together in Mehta's 2014 film CityLights, which received great critical appreciation upon its release.


Talking about his fifth collaboration with Rao, Hansal had earlier said, “Swagat Hain makes a strong statement about freedom of expression, hypocrisy and exploitation of women at the workplace and in personal spaces.”

Swagat Hai is expected to start rolling soon in Mumbai.
