Had to get my game together for 'Turram Khan': Nushrat Bharucha

Mumbai: Nushrat Bharucha says coming from movies like Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety, no one could have imagined she'd do a Hansal Mehta film.

The actor, who has worked with the filmmaker on Turram Khan, said the experience was enriching and challenging.

Turram Khan is a social comedy based in a small town in Uttar Pradesh and also features Rajkummar Rao, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayub and Saurabh Shukla.

Nushrat said that Turram Khan is a different territory for her.

"Hansal Mehta has combined comedy and it comes from a very strong space. I am proud I was able to be a part of that world of Hansal sir's cinema. If you think about it, me coming from Pyar ka Punchnama and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, no one would have thought she could do a Hansal Mehta film," said Nushrat.

The actor said she is "blessed" the director could see her in a different space.

"I kept on saying, 'I am scared. Sir, are you sure I can do this?' And he said, 'Yeah. You can'," she added.

Turram Khan also reunites the actor with her Love Sex Aur Dhokha co-star Rajkummar.

Nushrat will also be seen in Hurdang, a love story set in the backdrop of the 1990s where the actor will be seen playing a fearless girl who doesn't mince words. The film also features Vijay Varma and Sunny Kaushal.pti
