Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt will make his comeback with director Omung Kumar’s upcoming 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,” Dutt said in a statement.
Omung, who has previously directed biopics like Mary Kom and Sarbjit, said the film will be an edge-of-the-seat thriller. “This one will keep the audience taut and on the edge of their seats. Bhoomi is an emotional, revenge drama that centres around the relationship between a father and daughter.”
The film will be made under the banner of Bhushan Kumar led T-Series, Sandeep Singh and Omung Kumar’s production house Legend Studios. Producer Bhushan Kumar said, “Sanjay Dutt’s versatility as an actor will be on display with Bhoomi. I am personally looking forward to this film.”
“Baba (Sanjay Dutt) believed in the script from the day he heard it and has been the driving force behind this film.Bhoomi is a story that will buckle the trend. We are delighted that Sanjay Dutt is making a comeback through ‘Bhoomi’, said Sandeep Singh.
To be shot extensively in Uttar Pradesh in February, Bhoomi will be the first of Legend Studios films to go on the floors in 2017.
