Following the success of his latest release, Kedarnath, actor Sushant Singh Rajput will be portraying the role of a soldier in the upcoming film, Rifleman. The action-based project is bankrolled by Abundantia Entertainment, in association with Pooja Films. The first-look poster of the film was unveiled on Tuesday, on the occasion of Army Day. 

"Rifleman is our next film. We haven't yet finalised the director. The film will definitely go on floors this year. The casting process is on," a source close to the production house told us. 

Sushant has a packed line-up this year. His upcoming release is Sonchiriya, a Chambal-set dacoit drama directed by Abhishek Chaubey, which is slated for release on February 8. He will also been seen in Mukesh Chhabra's Kizie Aur Manny and Tarun Mansukani's Drive.
