Gully Boy actor Vijay Varma has started shooting for Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt's next directorial Hurdang in Prayagraj. "We are all so excited to shoot this one. The workshops and reading were amazing. I'm feeling pretty nervous to play this extremely layered character and I hope to do justice," Vijay said in a statement.

Hurdang is being touted as a love story set in the backdrop of the 1990s, a time when the youth fought for their rights and spent a great deal of time to find self-realisation and had a strong desire to stand up for rights. The film also stars Sunny Kaushal and Nushrat Bharucha.
