A new promo introducing the talented cast of upcoming Ayushmann-starrer Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan is out and it looks amazing. The animated video introduces the caricature versions of all the actors through an imaginary game of ‘Kaali Gobi Cup’ in which the kaali gobi replaces a typical ball.
The video begins with a voiceover telling us that a match is going on in Allahbad’s Aangan stadium. As the players pass the kaali gobi to each other, we get a glimpse of all the characters in the film.
The cast includes, Ayushmann Khurrana as Kartik Singh, Gajraj Rao as Shankar Tripathi, Neena Gupta as Sunaina Tripathi, Pankhuri Awasthy as Kusum, Jitendra Kumar as Aman Tripathi, Manurishi Chadha as Chaman Tripathi, Sunita Rajwar as Champa Tripathi, Maanvi Gagroo as Goggle Tripathi, and Neeraj Singh as Keshav. The video gives us a glimpse of the romance between Ayushmann’s Kartik and Jitendra’s Aman.
Watch it here:
The film is written and directed by Hitesh Kewalya. It will release on 13 March 2020.
Earlier the makers had released a tongue-in-cheek teaser of the film, highlighting the queer romance.
The sequel titled Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan will tackle the story of a conservative family struggling to accept the fact that their son is gay. Ayushmann is set to return as the lead, playing what is still considered a brave role for male actors in Bollywood. Reportedly, Bhumi is not expected to return. Mirzapur actor Divyendu Sharma has been roped in to play the pivotal role of Ayushmann’s partner.
