Apart from this movie, Kumar will also be seen in Rohit Shetty's Sooryavanshi, Aanand L Rai's Atrangi Re, and Bell Bottom.
Sooryavanshi's release had been pushed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The actor was last seen in Laxmii, playing the role of a man possessed by the ghost of a transgender.
However, that film was marred by controversies and also received poor reviews.
