Recently, Vivek Oberoi announced that he would be foraying into production and bankrolling Vishal Mishra’s upcoming films. The films titled Iti: Can You Solve Your Own Murder and Rosie: The Saffron Chapter also have Girish Johar, Kussum Arora, Prerna V Arora, Reshabh D Saraf, Garauv Bhatia, and Keyur Pandya’s Mandiraa Entertainment on board as producers. While announcements regarding Rosie have been kept on hold, the makers have been revealing the characters of Iti gradually.
The latest announcement is that model, entrepreneur, and actress Sushmita Sen‘s brother Rajeev Sen will make his Bollywood debut with Vishal Mishra‘s upcoming whodunnit Iti: Can You Solve Your Own Murder. Rajeev will be essaying the role of Rohit Vardhan in the film.
The poster doesn’t give away any details and in fact, blurs out the actor’s face from the poster. All that we see is Rajeev seated inside a green car with the India and Pakistan map imprinted on it. There’s also a stark resemblance to the poster of Peter Farrelly’s 2018 dramedy Green Book.
The makers took to Twitter to reveal the character poster.
