Bollywood stars are now expanding their horizons, ready to establish their footprint in Hollywood. Joining the list of Indian actors set to explore the west side is Pranutan Bahl, daughter of actor Mohnish Bahl and granddaughter of legendary actor Nutan.
Actor Pranutan will be making her Hollywood debut in 'Coco & Nut,' a romance saga also starring American actor-filmmaker Rahsaan Noor, who is also directing the film. The upcoming film also marks Noor's return to the movies after the success of his film 'Bengali Beauty' in 2018, which became the highest-grossing Bengali-language movie of all time.
'Coco & Nut' will be a multicultural collaboration featuring both English and Hindi languages. The film is expected to go on the floor in June of this year. The official synopsis of the film reads, "Feeling worthless, an ambitious young woman (Pranutan) fighting to save her marriage gets a new pick-me-up from her know-it-all college sweetheart (Rahsaan)."
Produced by Hamilton Moving Pictures' Chad Shields, together with Ranjith Rajasekharan and Raghav Murali, the film has been written by Rahsaan Noor and Raghav Murali, with additional screenplay credit going to Priyamvada Singh. The film is bankrolled by Noor's Ziryab Films, Henry Leong's Macuverse, and executive producers Mashruk Zahid and Lasaly Changkachith. It is set for release in 2025.
Pranutan Bahl is known for her roles in Bollywood films 'Notebook' (2019) and Helmet (2021). The upcoming film will help her expand her presence on global shores. Coming from a celebrated family of actors, including her father, Mohnish Bahl, grandmother, Nutan, and aunt, Kajol, the rising star's cinematic journey has all eyes on her.
