Sohum to play Kanganat’s love interest in Simran

Actor Sohum Shah, known for films like 'Ship of Theseus' and 'Talvar', is set to play Kangana Ranaut’s love interest in upcoming film 'Simran'. Directed by Hansal Mehta, the film is reportedly inspired by the life of an NRI nurse in the US.

“It’s a very different role from the films that I have previously done. I’m playing Kangana’s love interest, who will bring a change in her life. I have a very important character in the film,” the actor said.

Sohum is first time working under Mehta’s direction and he is all praise for the 'Aligarh' helmer. “Hansal sir is very calm no matter how much stress is there. He always handles everything very calmly. I’ve learnt so many things from him.

I’m a very restless person I don’t have much patience. But he never takes pressure be it for shooting on different locations or managing things on sets. He is an extremely cool person.”

Talking about Kangana, Sohum said, “She is an amazing person she was constantly participating in each discussion on the sets. I wasn’t nervous at all during the shoot because when you are fully prepared with what you have to do, things get automatically easy.” Sohum will also be next seen in the fantasy-horror 'Tumbad'.
