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 Gandhi in his breakout series ”Scam 1992”.
Set in the 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.

Gandhi took to Instagram and posted pictures from the first day of the shoot.

”New story, new character, and a new beginning,” the 41-year-old actor wrote. Mehta wrote on Twitter, ”Some of my favorite 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, which stars alongside R Madhavan and Aparshakti Khurana.
