In recent times, actors like Bobby Deol and Jaideep Ahlawat have been highly appreciated for his or her portrayal of corrupt godmen. While the previous’s Aashram proved to be a turning point, the latter was seen in Maharaj (2024), which got healthy viewership. And now, joining these actors is none aside from Chandrachur Singh. Bollywood Hungama has learned that the veteran actor plays the antagonist in Huma Qureshi’s upcoming film, Bayaan.
Chandrachur Singh joins Bobby Deol-Jaideep Ahlawat’s ‘corrupt godman’ league; to play the villain in Huma Qureshi’s Bayaan
Bayaan also features Huma Qureshi within the capability of an executive producer. It’s directed by Bikas Ranjan Mishra and produced by Shiladitya Bora’s Platoon One Movies, Summit Studios and Guidant Movies. In September 2025, it was screened on the fiftieth Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), alongside Neeraj Ghaywan’s Homebound (2025) and Anurag Kashyap’s Bobby Deol-starrer Bandar, amongst others.
As per reports, Huma Qureshi plays the role of a rookie police officer in Rajasthan who’s investigating the case of a ‘Maharaj’ or a cult leader, who has raped countless girls in his aashram. Nevertheless, he is simply too powerful and has an influence over the police and the political system. How the police officer struggles to get a ‘bayaan’ or testimony in an effort to put the cult leader behind bars forms the crux of the story.
Besides Huma Qureshi and Chandrachur Singh, the others within the film are Sachin Khedekar, Vibhore Mayank, Swati Das and Sampa Mandal. It is predicted to be released in cinemas in 2026. This can be Chandrachur Singh’s immediate next after his comeback performance in Sushmita Sen-fronted web show, Aarya, and Akshay Kumar’s OTT film, Cuttputlli (2022).
In an interview with Mid-Day in August 2025, Huma Qureshi stated, “The script was unbelievable. Bikas and Shiladitya were sure of the story they desired to tell — it was India-specific, but told with a bigger global audience in mind. The film is supported by the International Film Festival Rotterdam’s Hubert Bals Fund. Through the [Film Independent’s] LA Residency, the scripting was done under the mentorship of Craig Mazin of Chernobyl (2019) fame. It felt like something I desired to bet on. I had desired to do an indie project for a very long time. It’s getting a lot appreciation and that reinstates my faith within the undeniable fact that passion drives work in the films.”
