Mumbai: Rajkummar Rao is looking forward to collaborating with Janhvi Kapoor for the first time in a horror comedy “Rooh-Afza”.
Rajkummar spoke on the sidelines of a shoot for Bhamla Foundation’s anti-air pollution song “Hawa aane de” here on Saturday.
Janhvi has expressed her admiration for Rajkummar’s work many times.
Asked if he is excited to work with Janhvi in the film, he said: “Yes, of course... I am also very excited to work with her. I think Janhvi is a great girl, a wonderful actress and a good friend. So, I think we will have a lot fun while shooting for the film. It is a very quirky script and I am looking forward to be with her.”
The film, which also stars Varun Sharma, revolves around the story of a newlywed couple living in Uttar Pradesh’s Moradabad, whose life gets interrupted by a ghost who puts new grooms to sleep to possess their wives. To foil the ghost’s plan, the women of the town come together to keep grooms awake on their first night after the marriage.
The film will reportedly go on floors in June this year.
Produced by Dinesh Vijan and Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, “Rooh-Afza” will be directed by debutant Hardik Mehta.
