After playing an obnoxious drunkard Jat in his last release – Yamla, Pagla, Deewana, Mukul Dev is now all set to play a rural Kutchi in his next film titled JAL, directed by Girish Malik. The movie is about man versus nature and about how people in the areas of Kutch go to different lengths to reserve their water.
Mukul who drank like a fish in YPD, is going to play the baddie of sorts, who after finding water in the desert will go against everyone to preserve it. Mukul says, “It is a fresh approach & the film is being shot in the beautiful locales of Kutch. It is good that I do not have to really change my looks from my last film as the rural kutchis are known for their longish hair & beards. A lot of camel chases are being shot and I regret not having taken the camel rides on juhu beach while they were still legal (he laughs)”.
