Suraj Sharma signs his second Bollywood film?

Buzz has it that actor Suraj Sharma, who rose to international acclaim after delivering an outstanding performance in American survival drama Life Of Pi (2012), has bagged his second Bollywood film.

The actor debuted in the Hindi film industry with Anushka Sharma’s 2017 film Phillauri. Also featuring singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh in the lead role, the movie did decent business at the box-office, with Suraj receiving largely positive response for his act.


After two years of Phillauri, the actor is set to act in a Hindi film again. According to reports, Sharma has been signed on to play a pivotal role in a film called Sabr. Faraz Ansari is producing the film, while a director is yet to be finalized.

Sharma is expected to be seen as the parallel lead in the film. Besides him, the movie also stars Shweta Tripathi and Shernaz Patel.

An official announcement is expected to be made very soon.
