Jhund: News

An upcoming film, Jhund chronicles the story of Vijay Barse, a social worker who established Slum Soccer, an NGO that helps underprivileged children through football. In it, veteran superstar Amitabh Bachchan plays Barse, who will be aptly supported by Akash Thosar and Rinku Rajguru. This is the second collaboration for Thosar and Rajguru after their blockbuster, Sairat, which was directed by Nagraj Manjule. Interestingly, Manjule is helming this sports drama as well. Its filming began in 2018, which wrapped up on 31 August 2019. It was to be released on May 8, 2020, but owing to the present scenario due to COVID-19 pandemic, it might get released on OTT platforms. Rumors suggest that Amazon Prime may have bought the rights of the film.
