Actor Pratik Gandhi's upcoming family drama 'Dedh Bigha Zameen' on Wednesday started production in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh.
The film is backed by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Shaailesh R Singh and filmmaker Hansal Mehta, who had directed Pratik in his breakout series Scam 1992.
Set in a small town of Uttar Pradesh, the family drama follows the story of a "dignified struggle of a common man" to win his land back.
It is being helmed by Pulkit, the director of Rajkummar Rao-starrer series 'Bose: Dead or Alive'.
The official Twitter handle of Bhushan Kumar's T-Series posted the first look poster of the film. "Fighting for what's rightfully his. Presenting the first look poster of #DedhBighaZameen. Shoot commences today in Jhansi," the tweet read.
Pratik took to Instagram and posted pictures from the first day of shoot. "New story, new character and new beginning," the 41-year-old actor wrote.
Hansal wrote on Twitter, "Some of my favourite people are on a mission! Presenting the first look poster of #DedhBighaZameen. Shoot commences today in Jhansi."
'Dedh Bigha Zameen' also stars Khushali Kumar, who recently finished shooting for her debut film, a psychological thriller, in which stars alongside R Madhavan and Aparshakti Khurana.
