The trailer of Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi’s upcoming action flick Baadshaho is out and by the look of it, here’s a potboiler at hand. A drama set during the Emergency era in 1975, it revolves around six people who plan a daring heist. Throw in a lot of puns on sona, dusty desert trails, raj gharanas, six packs, hard punches, flying cars, and of course, intense ishq, and... you get the idea.
Directed by Milan Luthria, Baadshaho also stars Ileana D’Cruz, Esha Gupta, Sanjay Mishra and Vidyut Jamwal, the last possibly being the bad guy with a fake mooch putting a spanner in the plans of the “badasses”.
Check out the trailer here:
The men clearly steal the show, mouthing as they do dialogues strongly reminiscent of 90s Bollywood. The women - well, let’s hope they bring more to the film than is visible at first glance.
The cast launched the Baadshaho trailer in Mumbai’s iconic Opera House.
Baadshaho is scheduled for a 1 September release.
