Set in the late 1930s and early 1940s, 'Qala' is the story of an eponymous young playback singer. The film is about Qala's tragic past and the ways in which it catches up with her, causing her to unravel at the peak of her hard-won success. But the beginning and end of her spiral is her relationship with her mother, the pathology of her upbringing and the neurosis it leads to. It is helmed by Anvita Dutt.
The film also starred Tripti Dimri and Swastika Mukherjee in pivotal roles.
In the upcoming months, he will be seen in Shoojit Sircar's next and in YRF's upcoming web show 'The Railway Men'.
