The trailer gives a glimpse of the chaotic life of Pintu, smoothly essayed by the debutant Sushant as he navigates through dangers to get his lady love. Acharya and Raaz provide the much-needed comic relief.
Watch the trailer here:
Ganesh Acharya, expressed his excitement and said, “I wanted to make this film, so I convinced Vidhi a lot. I keep trying to make films, from Swami to now. I’m always fighting, and God gives me strength. My wife is my biggest strength.” He also added that, “I didn’t have the cast. I always work with newcomers. So, Shushant was struggling. He came to my studio once, twice, thrice and I didn’t meet him. I was coming back after Pushpa 2 shoot and as I entered the lift, Shushant showed up and I said this is my hero. When it came to the heroine, we got Jaanyaa Joshi. She’s from Delhi. So, this is how the film was made. They worked so hard. If you look at it as a newcomer, the dance, emotions, the actions were amazing.”
Akshay Kumar, the guest of honour, added: “I have come here for this film and for my friend. We have been friends for almost 30 years old. He choreographed his first song with me. He started with me for the first time in Maidan-E-Jung. Today, I am so happy. He must have choreographed about 7-8 thousand of songs in this industry. He has won the national award twice. Once he won for my film as well, for ‘Toilet – EK Prem Katha.’ He is a very good and interesting man. If he has a command, I can never refuse it. For me, this man always comes whenever I have asked him to do something…So congratulations to my friend.”
Pintu Ki Pappi has been produced by Vidhi Acharya with the screenplay by Anadi Sufi and Shiv Hare. It will be released in cinemas on February 21, 2025.
