MUMBAI MIRROR (August 2, 2018)

In the last few years, Bhushan Kumar has emerged as one of the most sought after film producers, having delivered some of the most successful films like Hindi Medium, Raid and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, among others. Now, the music baron-turned-film producer is aiming to add more genre of films to his banner. Bhushan is now all set to produce the much-awaited costume drama, Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior along with Ajay Devgn.

The duo has had a very successful association in the past. More recently, Bhushan’s Raj Kumar Gupta-directed blockbuster Raid was front-lined by Ajay, and the filmmaker recently flew down to London to meet Ajay to discuss Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior.

The film will mark Bhushan Kumar’s foray into the costume drama genre and is set to go on the floors on September 25, after Ajay wraps up the shoot of Akiv Ali’s next, which is being produced by Bhushan Kumar, Luv Ranjan and Indra Kumar’s Total Dhamaal.

Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior will showcase the life of the unsung warrior from the glorious Indian history, who fought for his people, his soil and his king, Chhatrapati Shivaji. The film will be directed by Om Raut, who has to his credit Lokmanya Ek Yugpurush (2015), the Marathi biopic on Bal Gangadhar Tilak.
