Congratulations team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The movie, which also stars Pankaj Tripathi, revolves around the story of a rookie clerk on election duty in a conflict-ridden jungle of Central India, who tries his best to conduct free and fair voting.<\/p>\n<p>The director, who rose to fame after helming 2014 film &#8220;Sulemani Keeda,&#8221; earlier told PTI he believes that only Rao could have done justice to the character.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought of Raj Kummar because the character was somebody, for which I needed a person, who could pull of a huge range. Plus I needed an actor of his age. The amount of energy he could send to the role I couldn&#8217;t think of anybody else.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Raj is extremely dedicated guy. He is with you one hundred per cent. And, I would love to work with him in more films.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Amit had also confirmed that the movie will release in mid-2017.<\/p>\n<p>Some 43 films were screened in the Forum segment at the festival, which concludes on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Actress Huma Qureshi&#8217;s Hollywood debut &#8220;The Viceroy&#8217;s House&#8221; also had its world premiere at the 2017 Berlinale.<\/p>\n<p>Rao also gave his best wishes to the actress by tweeting, &#8220;As Berlinale comes to an end, sending my love and wishes to you @humasqureshi for making us so proud with #ViceroysHouse.<\/p>\n<p>Amazing job.
