Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and veteran actor Ranjit will do cameos in Gulshan Grover’s comic web movie Badman.
Apart from actors like Rishi Kapoor, Farah Khan, Shoojit Sircar, Sujoy Ghosh and Manisha Koirala, Bhatt and Ranjit will also be seen in Badman.
The movie aims to explore the dark yet funny side of Bollywood, and Grover is touted to play the ‘young hero’.
While Chunky Pandey will play the villain, Bhatt will play himself — a close friend of Grover who gives counsel on his upcoming film.
Ranjit, as always, will play the villain who talks Grover into choosing the dark side.
Grover said in a statement: “I am thankful to my colleagues and friends for having played themselves in my debut film Badman. Although I have done over 450 films, Badman as a hero is my debut film.
“My special thanks to Rishi Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Manisha Koirala, Ranjeet Saab, Mahesh Bhatt, Sujoy Ghosh, Vishal Dadlani, Shoojit Sircar and others for having played themselves in my film.”
Asked about his colleagues’ reaction when he approached them, he said: “I mentioned to my colleagues about my film Badman and my desire for them to act in it. Within seconds, they all agreed. There are many colleagues who are upset with me for not getting them to act in my film.”
Badman, directed by Soumik Sen, will be available on Viacom18’s new app — VOOT soon.
