The upcoming comedy ‘Madgaon Express’ has just received a new jolt of star power with the announcement that dancer-actor Nora Fatehi has joined the ensemble cast. The film marks the directorial debut for actor Kunal Kemmu, widely known for his performances in films such as ‘Kalyug’, the popular ‘Golmaal’ franchise, ‘Go Goa Gone’, and ‘Lootcase’. Not only is Kemmu at the helm of the project but he has also penned down the screenplay, promising to bring to the screen his unique blend of humor and drama.
Production giant Excel Entertainment broke the news on a weekend that left fans abuzz with anticipatory excitement. They went on to introduce Nora’s character with an intriguing first look on Instagram. Their post cryptically teased, “Sabke hai glamour ke sapne, par iss baar, lag gaye apne…” which translates to “Everyone dreams of glamour, but this time, it’s our own close ones… #MadgaonExpress trailer out on 5th March.” The caption, alongside the sneak-peek image, has fueled speculation and eagerness among audiences who are eager to see what this unexpected collaboration brings forth.
‘Madgaon Express’ promises to be a laughter-filled journey, centering around the lives and misadventures of three childhood pals.
