Vidyut Jammwal will play Sher Singh Raana in the film directed by Shree Narrayan Singh and produced by Vinod Bhanushali

Vidyut Jammwal is set to play Sher Singh Raana in his first historical drama, directed by Shree Narrayan Singh and produced by Vinod Bhanushali, after conquering the action genre. Sher Singh Raana will be the true story of an unreal man in this suspenseful thriller about a staunch Rajput who embarked on the most treacherous journey of resurrecting the 800-year-old pride of India - Prithviraj Chauhan's ashes. It's the story of a young man who tried to escape the high-security Tihar jail using mental tricks rather than violence.

I'm thrilled to be joining Sher Singh Raana's team. "Sher Singh Raana signifies my first biopic," says Vidyut Jammwal. When the role of the fearless Sher Singh Raana came to me, I believe destiny connected the dots. I'm excited to collaborate with Vinod Bhanushali and Shree Narrayan Singh."

"When you hear tales of Sher Singh Raana, you know that his life and his experiences were filled with adventure and intrigue," director Shree Narrayan Singh says of the casting. While Vidyut has mastered the action genre, this film sees him take on a role he has never played before. It's about this man whose sole motivation was to help his country."

The biopic on Sher Singh Raana is produced by Bhanushali Studios Ltd's Vinod Bhanushali, Kamlesh Bhanushali, and Vishal Gurnani, and Matargashti Films' Vishal Tyagi and Mohammed Imran Khan.
