Actors Abhishek Bachchan, Yami Gautam and Nimrat Kaur have come on board for a social comedy titled Dasvi.

The film, produced by Dinesh Vijan, Sandeep Leyzell and Shobhana Yadav, went on floors on Monday. Debutant director Tushar Jalota will helm Dasvi from a script penned by Ritesh Shah, known for Pink and Batla House.

"From the makers of Hindi Medium, Angrezi Medium and Bala, comes a hilarious social comedy Dasvi starring Abhishek Bachchan, Yami Gautam and Nimrat Kaur," a note from the makers read. Bachchan, 45, took to Instagram and shared his first look from the film as Ganga Ram Chaudhary.

The poster features the Ludo star sporting a rugged look with a salt-and-pepper beard, standing against a backdrop of a scorecard.

"Dasvi shoot begins," Bachchan captioned the picture. The film is presented by Jio Studios and Vijan's Maddock Films.

Apart from Dasvi, Bachchan will be next seen in director Sujoy Ghosh-backed thriller Bob Biswas and The Big Bull, inspired by the life of stockbroker Harshad Mehta.
