Cinema VinesIn a fresh development for the upcoming sci‑fi alien survival‑action film Samuk, director Kanishk Varma has reportedly added actor Viineet Kumar Siingh to the cast. The Hindi film, produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah under Sunshine Pictures and co‑produced by Aashin A. Shah, is currently being shot in London and is set to hit screens in 2027.
Sources close to the project say that Siingh, best known for his gritty performances in Mukkabaaz and Gangs of Wasseypur, will play a key role alongside Akshay Kumar. The actor’s raw physicality and intensity, according to a source, made him an ideal fit for the part, which requires a performer who can “bring intensity without overplaying it.” The director noted that Siingh’s ability to immerse himself physically into characters will help him blend into the film’s unique world.
While the specifics of Siingh’s character and the plot remain under wraps, it is clear that his role is pivotal. The actor will share a strong bond with Kumar’s character, and the two are expected to be central to the film’s narrative. The casting choices for Samuk reflect a clear creative vision that favors performers who can bring credibility and individuality to the story.
Samuk marks a reunion for Akshay Kumar and Vipul Amrutlal Shah, who last worked together thirteen years ago. The film combines elements of science fiction, survival, action and horror, and is being positioned as a large‑scale theatrical spectacle. With a cast that now includes Siingh, the makers are building anticipation while keeping character details and plot points tightly guarded.
Fans of Siingh will recall his acclaimed portrayal of Danish Khan in Gangs of Wasseypur and his work in Mukkabaaz, Gold, Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, Saand Ki Aankh, Jaat and Chhaava. His addition to Samuk is expected to add another layer of intensity to an already star‑studded ensemble.
