Natha’s ingenuousness and placidity in Peepli Live worked wonders for the film’s layered and hard-hitting message.
The actor Omar Das Manikpur, who played a farmer driven to commit suicide, won a lot of accolades for the role.
He has now been signed for Qasam Se Qasam Se, a film to be directed by debutant Ashafaque Makrani. Manikpur will make an entry as Natha and will go on to play his screen character.
Director Ashafaque said, “In Peepli Live towards the end, it is shown that Natha is fed-up of the constant glare of politicians, society and the media.
In my film we continue the penniless state of Natha, who still wants to commit suicide. He jumps on to the protagonist’s car.
New actor Azim plays the protagonist who then rescues Natha and later helps him transform his perception towards life.”

Aishwarya Rai shimmers at Oscar
Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai added some Indian glamour to the Oscars with an on-trend shimmery number at the 83rd Academy Awards where sequins dominated the red carpet.
The 37-year-old actress sparkled in a bronze Giorgio Armani Prive gown with rows of amber sequins and beaded detail at the waist, while husband Abhishek Bachchan stuck to a traditional black tuxedo.
The actress teamed the shimmery gown with a Jimmy Choo clutch, vintage jewellery and smoky eyes.
Like Abhishek, musician A R Rahman who walked the red carpet with wife Saira, too wore a tuxedo while his partner chose a flamboyant fusion ensemble consisting of a golden sherwani and cigarette pants.
Like Saira and Ash, the shimmer trend was followed by Gwnyeth Paltrow, who wore a gold Calvin Klein number and Halle Berry who stole the show in a nude sparkling number by Marchesa.
Hilary Swank’s glistening silver Gucci column gave way to a romantic ostrich feather skirt, while the sparkling bodice of Mandy Moore’s romantic Monique L’Hullier dress appeared to have been sprayed on.
Shimmering nude was also an age-appropriate choice for 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld, nominated for her role in True Grit , who won a Fifties-style dress by Marchesa.
While Celine Dion, wore a full-sleeved silver column dress, Amy Adams added a pop of colour to the red carpet with a sequined navy gown by L’Wren Scott, which she teamed with green accessories.
Other than the sparkle, another major trend was the resurgence of the red carpet favourite, voluminous red gowns.
The bustled creations worn by Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Hudson, and Sandra Bullock, were in the same traffic-stopping hue of red. Penelope Cruz too showed off her post-pregnancy bod with a sequined red gown by L’Wren Scott.
And while black remained a popular choice, with famously eccentric British star Helena Bonham Carter opting for it, there were some surprises from Cate Blanchett who wore an lavender Givenchy Haute Couture gown with yellow embellishment, and an unusual purple-burgundy hue seen on both Natalie Portman, in Rodarte, and Scarlett Johansson in Dolce and Gabbana.
