Priyanshu joins Rashmi Rocket

Rashmi Rocket, a film directed by Akarsh Khurana, will star Priyanshu Painyuli in the leading role opposite Taapsee Pannu. It might be the start of a golden phase for Priyanshu, who will soon be seen in Chris Hemsworth-starrer Extraction, which can be seen online in April. The actor will be extensively promoting the film with Chris and director Sam Hargrave, who are expected to be in India on March 15.

Priyanshu shared, “This looks like a great year already and hopefully the start of a great decade too. In Rashmi Rocket, I will be playing the role of an Army officer. It’s a matter of great pride for me. Since I come from the Defence background, playing a man in uniform is both an honor and responsibility. It’s extremely exciting, especially after my last film Upstarts, whose universe is so far removed from the world this film is set in. The film will kick-start next month and we’ll shoot across Delhi, Kutch, Dehradun, and Mussoorie. It’s a fictional film, but inspired by real events.”
