Kabir Duhan Singh has been roped in to play the antagonist in Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s upcoming romantic drama Bole Chudiyan. This film marks Nawazuddin’s brother Shamas Nawab’s directorial debut. The cast of Bole Chudiyan also includes Anurag Kashyap (in a cameo) and Tamannaah Bhatia , after Mouni Roy’s exit.
Shamas opens up on Kabir’s character in an interview with Pune Mirror . “Kabir plays Mansoor, Tamannaah’s brother. It’s a very important role and I had spoken to a lot of actors, many among them from the Hindi film industry, but I was most impressed with Kabir. Besides his good acting skills, he is also a nice person which is important. He hails from Haryana and his accent is exactly what I wanted for this film. I told him to be himself,” he says.
He explains that Kabir’s character is from a zamindar family while Nawaz is a middle-class man. The film will also see their characters not getting along with each other.
