This film marks the first collaboration between Kashyap and Bobby Deol. Shortly after the trailer launch, social media platforms were flooded with reactions from viewers praising the gritty tone and Bobby's transformation.
Bobby Deol plays a fallen rockstar
Bobby Deol portrays Sameer Mehra, a once-successful rockstar whose life appears to be collapsing both professionally and personally. The trailer introduces Sameer as a celebrity desperately trying to hold onto fame and public attention. He is shown attending glamorous parties in flashy outfits and oversized sunglasses, maintaining the image of a music icon even as his life spirals downward. Several scenes also hint at his reckless lifestyle. One sequence shows him casually swiping through dating apps without much concern beyond appearances.
Sexual assault allegations change everything
The narrative takes a major turn after Sameer is arrested following sexual assault allegations made by a character played by Sapna Pabbi. His luxurious celebrity life suddenly falls apart as he faces legal trouble and public scrutiny. Despite being taken into custody, Sameer continues to insist that he is innocent and claims he is being framed as part of a conspiracy. The trailer hints at a tense courtroom and media drama.
Sanya Malhotra's character
Sanya Malhotra appears as Sameer's sister in the film. Her character seems deeply affected by the scandal surrounding him.
