You won’t believe who’s the villain in Harshvardhan Kapoor’s ‘Bhavesh Joshi’!

Little is known about director Vikramaditya Motwane’s upcoming thriller Bhavesh Joshi, featuring Harshvardhan Kapoor. Mumbai Mirror has reported that Nishikant Kamat, who played a drug dealer in Rocky Handsome last year, is returning to the screen to play the bad guy again.

The National Award-winning filmmaker was approached for the part early last year and he immediately agreed for a look test. Nishikant plays politician-criminal Rana in Bhavesh Joshi. The film marks the acting debut of Shreyah Sabharwal, and also features Priyanshu Painyuli, who was last seen as Shraddha Kapoor’s brother in Rock On 2!!, in a prominent role.

The movie was shot at various locations in Mumbai. The film was delayed twice before it finally went on the floors last July, is presently in post-production. The makers are planning a year-end release.

A source close to the development told the tabloid, “Harsh’s character Siku sports three looks as he transitions from a young college boy to a macho man fighting corrupt politicians and becoming a vigilante of sorts in the process.Rana and Siku’s face-off forms a crucial part of the film. The high-voltage action sequences were wrapped up earlier this year. Nishikant will sport in a never-seen-before rugged avatar.”
