Actor Ashutosh Rana , who has not been seen in any prominent role for a long time now, has teamed up with veteran actor Rishi Kapoor for an upcoming film, titled Mulk . To be directed by Anubhav Sinha , the movie also features noted actor Rajat Kapoor , Taapsee Pannu and Prateik Babbar in a pivotal role. Both Rana and Sinha last worked together in the 1993 TV show Shikast. Now, they are coming together after a gap of almost after 25 years.

Talking about his experience with Anubhav during the time of Shikast, Rana says, "My experience with Anubhav with 'Shikast' was phenomenal. He is a great director and technician. I have full faith and trust in his sensibility and vision. I have always liked shooting in Lucknow because the temperament of the city is very different."

Sinha said: "Ashutosh and I travel back to a time when television dominated the entertainment industry. He is an incredible actor and brings great credibility and maturity to the existing casting."

Mulk is all set to mount floors next month and will be shot extensively in Lucknow and Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. The film will release next year.
