Actor Rahul Bhat after the magnanimous success of Netflixโs โBlack Warrantโ, playing the grey police warden is now making his debut in English. His next feature titled โLost & Found in Kumbhโ marks his Hollywood Debut with the movie written and directed by Mayur Puri, in his Feature Debut.
Cannes 2025 will be Bhatโs third appearance in the Cannes screen followed by his and Anurag Kashyapโs โUglyโ in 2013 and โKennedyโ in 2023. โLost & Found in Kumbhโ is produced by an LA Based production house Mulberry Films and will have a teaser release on 18 May.
Rahul Bhat is a known face in the Hindi film industry with numerous and notable roles, mostly antagonistic and has now decided on trying a different role. A much lighter role in โLost & Found in Kumbhโ, Rahul Bhat will be playing a London returning Professor who visits his father with his British wife and son. The father goes missing in the Kumbh while Bhatโs character also gets lost resulting in a dramatic, emotional and comedic entanglement.
โFor a change, somebody offered me a dramedy. All the time, people were only giving me these dark, very serious, violent roles. So I thought, okay, let me do something interesting in Englishโ, Bhat told Variety. โLost & Found in Kumbhโ is said to be a lighthearted dramedy and is described asโItโs not to be taken too seriouslyโ by Bhat .
Mayur Puri shot the film on live location at the Maha Kumbh earlier this year, which is said to be one of the largest spiritual gatherings of the world, attracting millions of devotees to Prayagraj where the three Holy rivers confluence. An extreme challenge for the makers for sure as the rare event that is said to be occurring once in 144 years surges hundreds of millions of people in one place.
โIt was really tough. It was so hot and so many people, but interesting,โ recalls Bhat who also shared that the production team and the government of Uttar Pradesh helped them in planning the shoot while also sharing his acting nuances of working in a live and crowded location calling it an immersive experience.
The movie is produced by Rashaana Shah, Cristy Coors Beasley and Namrata Sharma while the ensemble cast includes Rahul Bhat playing Maddy, British TV actress Katie Amess playing Cherry, Rajshri Deshpande as Sherry, Jordy Cass and Abhisar Puri playing
