Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has been officially roped in to star and co-produce Bangladeshi filmmaker Mostofa Sarwar Farooki’s ‘No Land’s Man’, according to a report published in Variety.

The film will be predominantly in English-language that will chronicle a tragic and strange story with a mix of funny moments as a South Asian man meets an Australian girl in the US, reports wionews.com.

Speaking about the film, Nawazuddin said, ‘The script explores today’s strange world, with strong humour, satire, and emotion,’ said Siddiqui. ‘I felt compelled to be associated with the project in more than just the capacity of an actor, as I thought this is that kind of film which really needs to be made.’

The film will be co-produced by popular Bangladeshi actress Nusrat Imrose Tisha and Mostofa alongside Anjan Chowdhury of the Bangladeshi conglomerate the Square Group. Nawazuddin will produce through his Magic If Films.

‘No Lands Man’ came into the picture when it won the Motion Picture Association of America and Asia Pacific Screen Awards’ Script Development fund in 2014. It was part of the Asian Project Market at Busan and was chosen as the best project at India’s Film Bazaar the same year. The film is in pre-production currently and principal photography will commence later this year.

Nawazuddin recently starred in this year’s Sundance and Berlin title ‘Photograph’. He was also seen in 2018 Cannes and Toronto title ‘Manto.’
