Director Madhur Bhandarkar is all set to begin work on his next film based on the sand mafia in India, titled Inspector Ghalib, and if a report in a leading website is anything to go by, Sushant Singh Rajput will play the lead role in it.
Sources told the daily that Sushant met Madhur recently and approved of the idea proposed by the filmmaker. “Sushant who had a meeting with Madhur Bhandarkar recently, liked the idea. He likes Madhur’s style of filmmaking and was keen to collaborate. Sushant is more of a director’s actor,” the source was quoted as saying by the website.

Another source close to the development elaborated on the plot of Inspector Ghalib and said, “Cop films are doing well. Inspector Ghalib is the story of a cop who is up in arms against illegal sand mining in various parts of the country, and he takes on the sand mafia. And like every other Madhur film, this will not be a movie like a Simmba or a Singham. It will cock-a-snook at the issue and will tickle the underbelly of the system that supports illegal sand mining."
On being contacted by the website, Madhur refused to divulge further details and said, “It is too early to comment on the project at the moment.”
