Actor Aparshakti Khurana, who is predominantly known for doing comic roles, is set to play the role of a Kashmiri terrorist in his upcoming film Dhoka D Round Corner.

According to IANS, the film explores different facets of human relationships but follows a rather gritty and darker central theme.

Aparshakti said, "With 'Dhoka', I am attempting a very different genre for the very first time. I was trying to do something apart from comedy for a while now but only Kookie Gulati and Bhushan Kumar showed that confidence in me. It explores a different take on human relationships intertwined because of personality complexes, captured with an overall theme which is slightly grungy and grey."

Directed by Kookie Gulati, who has earlier directed the OTT film The Big Bull, Dhoka D Round Corner is a suspense thriller.

Aparshakti further added that he worked extensively to learn the Kashmiri language for his character and also lost some weight and shortened his hair to get the desired look.

Dhoka D Round Corner also stars R Madhavan, Khushali Kumar, and Darshan Kumar and is set to release theatrically on September 23, 2022.
