The first look of the upcoming nautanki film 'Nautanki Saala', was launched yesterday in a complete nautanki style. The film is produced by T-Series and R.S. Entertainment and directed by Rohan Sippy.
Son of acclaimed filmmaker Ramesh Sippy, Rohan asked his film's lead stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Kunaal Roy Kapur to enact the highly popular 'suicide' scene from his father's blockbuster film 'Sholay'.
Kunaal became 'Veeru' while Ayushmann was the modern day 'Jai'. The promotional stunt was carried out at Andheri where Kunaal came down with the help of a fire cable unveiling the poster of the film in style.
After reminiscing the 'gaonwala' suicide scene from 'Sholay' as a tribute to Ramesh Sippy who gave the audience 'saala nautanki', the lead actors alongwith Bhushan Kumar (T-Series) and Rohan Sippy celebrated Sr. Sippy's birthday and launched the first look of their upcoming film.
Bhushan Kumar ecstatic on the launch says, "Nautanki Saala is a fun comic film and the launch of the first look had to be a nautanki. Our leads Ayushmann and Kunaal have done a fabulous job and our audiences will surely adore them in the film. It also being Rameshji's birthday, Rohan and me just wanted to make his birthday celebrations more grand with the launch of our first poster."
The poster shows Ayushmann as 'Ravaan' with ten heads and Kunaal as a sad character all dressed up as a nautanki wala (view poster). Theatre being the backdrop of the film, the lead actors were dressed up in their characters in the first look release amidst complete drama.
The film will give the audiences comedy, laughter, romance and a new comic jodi of 2013. It is all set to release on 12th April, 2013.
