Randeep Hooda seems to be entering a meaningful new phase in life—both at home and on screen.

After recently embracing fatherhood, the actor is already back at work, choosing a story that feels just as grounded and real as the roles he’s known for.

Having wrapped up the shoot of Eetha with Shraddha Kapoor, Randeep Hooda hasn’t taken much of a break. He has moved straight into his next project, a film inspired by true events that looks at the impact of misleading advertisements on everyday people. It’s a subject most can relate to, and one that quietly affects lives more than we realise.

In the film, Randeep Hooda will be seen playing a Haryanvi Jaat—a character that is expected to be raw, rooted, and emotionally layered.

This kind of role sits comfortably within his space as an actor, someone who has always leaned towards stories that feel honest rather than flashy. There’s a certain intensity he brings to such characters, and this project seems set to tap into that once again.

Directed by Anjit Bhatnagar, the film also brings together a strong creative team, including several National Award-winning members.

While the scale of the project appears significant, the heart of it remains simple—telling a story that feels real and relevant.

The next schedule of the shoot is set to begin towards the end of March in rural Haryana, a setting that naturally adds authenticity to the narrative.

On the other hand, Randeep Hooda recently took to Instagram to announce the birth of their daughter with wife Lin Laishram, sharing many feelings in his message showing love and appreciation for their new family member.

Reportedly, both Lin Laishram and the newborn are healthy and in good health as the family welcomes this precious delight into the world.

In his heartfelt post, Randeep Hooda wrote: “दादा अर पोती नै जन्मदिन की घणिए बधाई 🎉🙏😘🤗 Today, as I become a father, my appreciation for you has only grown deeper, Papa. And most importantly - Lin, thank you for making me a father and for bringing our little girl into this world. A little girl and a lifetime of love.”
