Forthcoming musical movie Aalaap brings back Raghubeer Yadav and Onkardas Manikpuri together again after Peepli Live. They play brother-in-laws in Shri Shankaracharya Arts’ Aalaap, directed by Manish Manikpuri.
“We saw their chemistry earlier. We needed two noted artistes to play close relative to our male protagonist Rahul. I personally think they suit the best. It was an unanimous decision to include them in the starcast," says producer Nishant Tripathi.
Raghubeer Yadav plays a rickshaw puller and father of protagonist Rahul played by Amit Purohit. Onkardas Manikpuri is Rahul's maternal uncle. “It’s a character-driven film. They are shown poor but idealistic in the movie,” adds Abhishek Mishra. Playing Rahul’s father, Raghubeer Yadav is poor but a lovable father who helps his son in his journey of life. “There is no better choice than him to play the role of hero’s father. Above all, Onkardas Manikpuri hails from Chhattisgarh. So, he was the easy and obvious choice for us,” avers director Manish Manikpuri. As Aalaap is all set to release on July 27, the public awaits another interesting product of passion to hit the marquee. Interestingly, Murali Sharma essays a very challenging role in the film while Abhimanyu Singh excels in the role of a fearless cop who takes on the challenging task of combating naxalism.
