Actor Darshan Kumaar, recently seen in a stellar role in 'Kashmir Files' will next be seen in the film 'Kaagaz 2' where he plays an IMA (Indian Military Academy) student. The film highlights the problems caused by rallies and protests and its impact on the common man.

The trailer of 'Kaagaz 2' sees Darshan Kumaar perform some sharp stunt sequences. Talking about preparing for his role, the actor reveals, "I am playing an IMA (Indian Military Academy) student. I started learning to march first. I used to sleep on a mat to get the body language right and did multiple reading sessions. Before the release of the film, I had gone to Ladakh where I stayed with army men. We went and hoisted the national flag there and I also gave the first clap for the film over there. Satish ji said that we are making this film for our real heroes-the army people".

Darshan says that the film has many layers to it. "The story is the hero of the film. The film talks about today's youth, major issues of rallies, it talks about modern families and how kids suffer from divorces, father-son relationship, and mother-son bond. It is a full package of emotions, drama, and social message," he shared.

Darshan Kumaar has consistently chosen strong, content-driven films that convey powerful messages. With 'Kaagaz 2', the actor once again selects a story that emphasizes the importance of not obstructing others' paths to pave one's own. Kaagaz 2 is all set to hit the theatres on the 1st of March 2024.

Meanwhile, on the work front he was last seen in the film 'Dhokha - Round D Corner' which was a suspense thriller directed by Kookie Gulati starring, R. Madhavan, Khushali Kumar and Aparshakti Khurana in key roles. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Dharmendra Sharma and Vikrant Sharma, the film released in cinemas on 23rd September 2022. It was about a multi-perspective pacy film based on an urban couple and promises to take the audience through the whirlwind journey during a day in the life of the couple.
