Arjun Mathur, Tannishtha Chatterjee to lead Anushman Jha’s directorial debut

Actor Anshuman Jha is on pace to make his directorial debut with a black comedy. Titled Lord Curzon Ki Haveli, the film will star Arjun Mathur and Tannishtha Chatterjee as its leading pair. 

The screenplay is written by writer-director Bikas Mishra. The story is set “inside a house that involves two couples and a pizza delivery boy.” The film is expected to go on floors in the UK in January. 

Confirming the news, Anshuman tells us, “This is a five character film and each part is integral to the story. I am grateful to Tannishtha and Arjun, whose work I admire, and am excited to collaborate with them on a script which excites us all in equal measure.”

Anushman is known for his appearances in Love Sex Aur Dhoka, Yeh Hai Bakrapur, and Angrezi Mein Kehte Hai. He will be seen in the upcoming film Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele, releasing on February 14, and is also a part of Pankaj Dubey's adaptation of the book What A Loser.
