Mehta, who is known for his socially conscious, content driven cinema is looking to expand his repertoire with a comedy. For Turram Khan he is reuniting with Rao, with whom he has delivered critically acclaimed films such as Aligarh, CityLights, Shahid and Omerta. The film will mark his and Bharucha’s maiden collaboration. Bharucha and Rao have earlier been a part of Dibakar Banerjee’s 2010 anthology drama, Love Sex Aur Dhokha. Both Bharucha and Rao’s latest films have been big hits at the box office. While the former marked her entry in the 100 crore club with _Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety_ earlier this year, the latter’s _Stree_ is currently enjoying an uninterrupted run at the box office. Luv Ranjan, Ajay Devgn and Ankur Garg are jointly producing Turram Khan and filming is scheduled to start from November, 2018.
