It had been reported a few weeks back that actor Saif Ali Khan, who has mostly played urbane roles (with the exception of his Langda Tyagi character in Omkara) would be teaming up with acclaimed director Tigmanshu Dhulia for a rustic action flick named Bullet Raja.
Sources now claim that actor Irrfan, who had worked with Dhulia in films like Haasil and Paan Singh Tomar will also be joining the cast of the film. It is being said that while Saif will be seen playing the role of a UP based gangster, Irrfan will don the uniform of a tough cop for the role. Incidentally, actor Jimmy Sheirgill, who had worked with Dhulia in Haasil and Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster is also part of the cast.
Set against the backdrop of the Uttar Pradesh mafia, Bullet Raja is slated to go on floors in November this year. Dhulia also rubbished rumours that Saif's character in the film will be similar to his Langda Tyagi persona in Omkara.
