Anshuman Jha to play cycle-rickshaw driver in Welcome To Agra

Actor Anshuman Jha (Lakadbaggha, 2023) will next be seen in debutant filmmaker Ashish Dubey’s film Welcome To Agra. The film will also feature Sarah Hopkins. As per a press release shared by the makers, the film is a “quintessential old school love story between a cycle rickshaw driver and a British tourist in Agra, set at the cusp of the millennium in 2000.”

Talking about the film, director Ashish says, “Agra is the mecca of love. I have dreamt of making this film for years and it has been a wish to work with Anshuman sir since his debut film LSD.” Anshuman adds, “I believe that as an audience we haven't really had a quintessential love story like a DDLJ or a Jab We Met in the past few decades. This film is a rare story before the times of social media and mobile phones. I am excited to play a rickshawalla in Uttar Pradesh.”

Produced by Mad Films, Welcome To Agra goes on floor in January end as Anshuman wraps his action film Lakadbaggha 2's shoot in December.
