# Prateek Kuhad set for acting debut in musical drama Doobna 2026-08-05T22:52:11+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Musician Prateek Kuhad is stepping in front of the camera for the first time, cast as Tarush in the upcoming drama Doobna. CinemaExpress reported, citing Variety, that the film follows an indie musician who gets pulled into the orbit of a record label run by a criminal figure, and that the project reunites Kuhad with Dar Gai, who directed his videos for cold/mess and Kasoor. Gai is producing under her Jugaad banner alongside Dheer Momaya, joined by Marginal Entertainment's Sanjay M Sharma and Milan Chakraborty and D36's Abhi Kanakadandila, the same group credited with writing the story. Kuhad built his following on songs such as Co2 and Kasoor and soundtrack work for Baar Baar Dekho and Ajeeb Daastaans, and put out his fourteen-track pop album Full Moon Chamber this past July. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Doobna's casting reveal covers Kuhad's role and his collaborators but says nothing about when the film opens, who else appears in it, or how far along production actually is. A singer cast as a musician trapped by a record label's criminal owner reads as a fitting piece of stunt casting, yet that description of the premise says nothing about how the finished film will actually hold together. What is worth tracking next is a confirmed start to filming or a release date, either of which would move Doobna from announcement toward something audiences can see. ## Coverage - CinemaExpress Tags: Dar Gai, Prateek Kuhad Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/prateek-kuhad-to-make-acting-debut-with-musical-drama/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
