But the MS Dhoni: The Untold Story actor is starting things afresh in 2018 with his new untitled film. The movie also stars Toilet: Ek Prem Katha fame actress Bhumi Pednekar. Both stars started shooting for the movie today.


Elated Sushant took it to his Instagram account to share the news, accompanying it with a picture of the on-set location in Chambal.

"Really excited !! Shoot for one of my favourites, #AbhishekChaubey's Film starts today in Chambal. #RonnieScrewvala #BajpayeeManoj #bhumipednekar#RanvirShorey #AshutoshRana #MaheshBalraj" (Sic).

The film is being helmed by Abhishek Chaubey, who has previously directed films like Dedh Ishqiya and Udta Punjab. Besides Sushant Singh Rajput and Bhumi Pednekar, the movie also features Manoj Bajpayee and Ranvir Shorey.
