Omung Kumar to direct Sanjay Dutt in ‘Bhoomi’

National Award-winning director Omung Kumar is all set to direct actor Sanjay Dutt for his comeback film Bhoomi.

“I have been looking for scripts that went beyond my screen persona. I wanted to do something vulnerable yet powerful. Bhoomi is an emotional and sensitive drama that explores the relationship between a father and daughter,” Sanjay said in a statement.

The film will be produced by Bhushan Kumar-led T-Series, Sandeep Singh and Kumar’s production house Legend Studios.

“This one will keep the audience taut and on the edge of their seats,” said Kumar.

Kumar, who has previously directed films such as Mary Kom and Sarabjit, said that Bhoomi is an “emotional, revenge drama that centres around the relationship between a father and daughter.”

T-series honcho Bhushan shared that Dutt’s versatility as an actor will be on display with Bhoomi.

“We are delighted that Sanjay Dutt is making a comeback through Bhoomi,” Singh added.

To be shot extensively in Uttar Pradesh in February, Bhoomi will be the first of Legend Studios’ films to begin production in 2017.
