Mirror had earlier reported (May 28) that Jim Sarbh, Amit Sadh and Harshvardhan Rane are coming together for Bejoy Nambiar’s next directorial Taish. Now, we’ve learnt that Pulkit Samrat has joined the revenge drama. According to a source it is “an intense role with many layers”. The shoot is expected to begin in the first week of August in London and the film will release next year.

The source adds, “Pulkit is doing workshops and trying out different looks as part of his prep. He plays a carefree guy with a passion for bikes and girls.” The female leads are still under wraps.

Bejoy has earlier directed Wazir which had featured Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar in the lead. Pulkit will be next seen in Anees Bazmee’s Pagalpanti, alongside Anil Kapoor and John Abraham.
