Tejaswi Singh Ahlawat joins cast of Hasal as female lead

Actress Tejasvi Singh Ahlawat, known for her performance in Mardaani 2 (2019) and SonyLIV's A Simple Murder (2020), has joined the cast of Hasal, starring Sanjay Mishra, Ranvir Shorey and Raghav Juyal, as the female lead.

Helmed by Ravi Singh and produced by Jayesh Patel of Bravo Entertainment, the film will go on the floors in December in Varanasi. 

Speaking about the psyche of her character, Ahlawat said, “This is a character I always wanted to play — a very strong female character who makes her own choices and is quite capable of taking on the consequences of them too, whatever they may be, and that’s very inspiring to me.”

Ahlawat further stated that, like all the other characters in the film, she too deals with the darkness that is a part of her being. "Whether she embraces it or runs away from it you’ll have to see in the film," she said.

Ahlawat has known the director for almost six years since both were part of the Asmita Theatre Group in Delhi, where the actress started her training in acting. “Ravi was quite senior to me. So, when he wrote this film, he told me he would like me to audition for it since he thought I fit the part, and I went ahead, and the rest is history,” the actress said.

Hasal is a slice-of-life story that showcases the fundamental darkness that every soul has to deal with. Among the four characters in the film, while some struggle to hide their darkness, others muster the courage to face it or channelize their inner evil with unexpected outcomes.

Speaking of working with a stellar ensemble cast, the actress said, "That goes without saying, I’m on top of the world. I’m extremely honoured and grateful to be creating something with them and I can’t wait to see how it will turn out."
