Actor Mihir Ahuja, known for his role in "The Archies", and Prasanna Bisht of "Chiraiya" fame, have come together to play the lead roles in Aditya Chandioke’s untitled film.
The shooting for the film, described as a light-hearted dramedy set in small-town India, is underway. In the movie, Ahuja plays a young man from Ujjain.
"This film feels extremely special to me because I genuinely feel like I’m stepping into a world I’ve never explored before as an actor. I’ve never played a character from Ujjain, and that comes with its own rhythm, innocence, body language, and way of speaking,” Mihir said in a statement.

"I wanted to approach it with complete honesty, so I’ve been spending a lot of time understanding the Ujjaini and Malwai dialect, the culture, and even the little nuances in how people communicate there. It’s both challenging and exciting at the same time," he added.
Ahuja said he was impressed by the script's "simplicity and heart".
"There’s a certain warmth and humour in this story that instantly connected with me. The tone of the film has that light-hearted dramedy space where emotions feel organic and humour comes naturally from situations and people," he added.
Chandioke is best known for directing the Netflix film "Greater Kalash" and miniseries "Baat Pakki".
