Naga Chaitanya, who last headlined the survival drama Thandel, is working with Virupaksha fame Karthik Dandu for his next project. The film, tentatively titled NC24, is billed as a mythological thriller with a hint of fantasy. There were a few reports of Laapataa Ladies actor Sparsh Shrivastava being signed for the antagonist’s role.
On Thursday, the NC24 officially announced the onboarding of Sparsh Shrivastava for the lead cast. Sparsh shot to limelight last year with his performance in Kiran Rao directorial Laapataa Ladies, that was produced by Aamir Khan. Sparsh played the role of Deepak in the comedy-drama. Sparsh’s other notable works include Jamtara, Ae Watan Mere Watan, and Dupahiya.
Incidentally, the makers confirmed the news on the Laapataa Ladies actor’s birthday.
