Nawazuddin Siddiqui has parked himself in his hometown Budhana, Uttar Pradesh. He has no intention of returning to Mumbai anytime soon. The lockdown in the state that has led to the halting of all film shoots and dubbing sessions has made the actor spend time with his folks. Last year, too, Siddiqui spent a greater part of the lockdown in his village pursuing farming, which comes “naturally to him” as he comes from a family of farmers.

Before the lockdown that brought films shoots to a halt, Nawaz wrapped up the shoot of his upcoming film 'Jogira Sara Ra Ra!'. Kushan Nandy's film will see Nawaz paired opposite Neha Sharma. The film was primarily in Lucknow and Banaras. Barring the songs, the cast and crew have completed the principal photography for the film and are euphoric about having completed the shoot within the planned time frame and with due safety precautions. The unprecedented times threw up various challenges during the shoot, but the team took them all in their stride to ensure optimum use of time and resources.
'Jogira Sara Ra Ra!' is a quirky tale of two people... NOT in love! The makers promise a fun vibe with the film which they hope to release theatrically in the second half of 2021. Produced by Naeem A. Siddiqui of Touchwood Multimedia Creations, the movie has Kiran Shyam Shroff as its Creative Producer and is written by Ghalib Asad Bhopali.
