The duo has commercially and critically successful movies like Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-leela and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha added to their credit as writers, leaving almost no scope for error when it comes to storytelling at its core.

Their new film deals with a topic which needs the expertise of talented and hard-working individuals, thus comes in Monika Panwar, or better known as ‘Guddi’ of Jamtara: Sabka Number Aayega fame.

She has been roped in to play the lead role alongside Sikandar Kher and if sources are to be believed, the two have already started prepping up for their respective roles as their characters and the film’s subject – both require a degree of research before the shoot commences.

On the other hand, Sikandar is also gearing up for his debut Hollywood project titled ‘Monkey Man’. For his role, the actor has moved from his lean physique to a bulkier self and says that he has worked really hard to alter his structure.

”Monkey Man is the biggest opportunity being thrown at me. It is one step ahead to reach out to a completely new audience. I wanted to give it my all. My part in the film requires a bulky figure and I have worked very hard to alter my structure to suit the role,” said Sikandar, son of veteran actor Anupam Kher and actor-politician wife Kirron Kher.

“An actor is only as good as his films. That’s it. Life’s thrown this huge opportunity towards me and I am working very hard to stay true to the character. My reel life characters have been very personal for me. I try to look like them, think like them and act like them. It won’t be wrong to say I like to get under the skin of every role that comes my way. Obviously the change is a gradual process but then I feel confident now, confident enough to tell you that my part in Monkey Man is who I am at the moment,” added Sikandar.
