Rajniesh Duggal plays the leading role in Bal Naren, a film inspired by Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in times of Covid

Rajniesh Duggal’s next Bal Naren is inspired by Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. The actor will be seen playing the role of Dr Siddharth in the film, while Yagya Bhasin will be portraying Naren. The actor gives us a lowdown on the project.

“Dr Siddharth is a very interesting character. He is someone who acts like Lord Krishna, who is there to protect the village from a deadly virus. He is also the village local boy who returns solely to protect his people from Covid and eventually does it through the perfect medium that is Naren. The fact that it’s a film on a very interesting social issue and not just area based but it is a worldwide issue made me take this project up. Also, it’s been written really beautifully and the passion that I saw in the director's eyes motivated me. He has been supported well by the producers, Deepak Mukut sir and Hunar Mukut,” he says.

Playing Doctor Siddharth has truly been a very interesting experience for Rajniesh. “He’s a very likable character, a clean-hearted person, someone from this village who has studied in a metro city and comes back to his roots to give back to the society. He is a man with a mission,” he adds.
