Actor Viineet Kumar Siingh has reportedly joined the cast of the upcoming sci-fi alien survival-action thriller Samuk, headlined by Akshay Kumar.

Shah.
According to sources close to the development, the Mukkabaaz and Gangs of Wasseypur star has been brought on board for a pivotal role that requires an intense, believable performance. The makers chose Siingh for his natural physical presence and ability to ground high-concept stories with raw authenticity.

The production team is taking a deliberate approach to casting, prioritizing performers who bring distinct individuality to the narrative rather than relying on conventional choices. Details regarding the exact plot, specific character arcs, and alien elements are being kept strictly under wraps by the studio.
Samuk has been in active development for over two years and is currently being filmed on location in London.
