Directed by Hansal Mehta, the film is reportedly inspired by the life of an NRI nurse in the US.
"It's a very different role from the films that I have previously done. I'm playing Kangana's love interest, who will bring a change in her life. I have a very important character in the film," the actor told PTI.
Sohum is first time working under Mehta's direction and he is all praise for the "Aligarh" helmer.
"I'm a very restless person I don't have much patience. But he never takes pressure be it for shooting on different locations or managing things on sets. He is an extremely cool person."
Talking about Kangana, Sohum said, "She is an amazing person she was constantly participating in each discussion on the sets. I wasn't nervous at all during the shoot because when you are fully prepared with what you have to do, things get automatically easy."
"You will find all kind of audience in India. So, industry should offer them such films. It's very important. I, as an artiste, believe in doing something unique."
Sohum will also be next seen in the fantasy-horror "Tumbad", which he claimed will be an entirely different film for Indian cinema.
"Just like 'Ship of Theseus' had a different concept, 'Tumbad' is also going to have a unique plot. And it will be completely different film for Indian cinema. It is not an offbeat movie. It is a very entertaining film which will appeal to everyone.
