Dutta's Umrao Jaan.
J.P. Dutta's adaption of the Urdu novel "Umrao Jan Ada" by Mirza Haadi Ruswa. Puru is playing Gauhar Mirza in this movie. 'Gauhar is a son of Kothevali who loves a Nawab. After loosing his parents he will be brought up by Kothe valies. He grows up along with Umrao later who falls in love with him. In old Umrao Jaan the character was played by Nasiruddin Shah. The movie made history in its time and as usual comparisons will be their in industry so naturally the pressure will come to do better than the original. We all know about Nasiruddin Shah's acting lets hope Puru may get good appreciations for his work in this movie.
Speaking to press Puru added that working with people like J.P.Datta and Shabana Azmi. I already worked with J.P Saab in LoC for the first time. I had to emote sadness, frustration, defeat and many other emotions anyways Datta Saab got all those things from me.
