Pranutan Bahl to make her Hollywood debut with 'Coco & Nut'

Actor Pranutan Bahl on Thursday said she is set to feature in her maiden Hollywood feature Coco & Nut, opposite American actor-filmmaker Rahsaan Noor.

Billed as a "spirit-lifting romance", the love story is directed by Rahsaan, best known for his 2018 critically acclaimed movie "Bengali Beauty". It is slated to release in 2025.

Pranutan, who made her acting debut with Salman Khan-backed Notebook in 2019, said she is thrilled to make her foray in Hollywood with the romantic-drama movie. She is the granddaughter of legendary actor Nutan and daughter of actor couple Mohnish Bahl and Ekta Sohini.

The film, primarily in English with some Hindi dialogues, is written by Rahsaan and Raghav Murali, with additional screenplay by Priyamvada Singh.

Rahsaan said he is excited to bring out a poignant love story that will resonate with people across the world.

According to the press statement, production of Coco & Nut will begin from June in Chicago, with cast and crew from both the US and India.

The film is produced by Hamilton Moving Pictures' Chad Shields, alongside Ranjith Rajasekharan and Raghav Murali. 

Co-financing the project are Rahsaan's Ziryab Films, Henry Leong's Macuverse, and executive producers Mashruk Zahid and Lasaly Changkachith.
