New Delhi: Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Bhumi Pednekar starrer ‘Awfaah’ s trailer is out. The film is a quirky thriller directed by the renowned filmmaker Sudhir Mishra and helmed by Anubhav Sinha, and speaks about how a rumour has the power to turn someone’s life upside down. This is Sudhir’s second outing with Nawazuddin after the Serious Men and it looks to be yet another powerful and compelling narrative. The movie also stars Sumeet Vyas, TJ Bhanu and Sharib Hashmi playing prominent roles.
The ‘Awfaah’ trailer shows Sumeet, an aspiring politician’s plans go awry as his fiancee, played by Bhumi Pednekar, runs away. There are rumours that Bhumi and Nawauddin have run away together making Sumeet more angry as he chases them.
Bhumi Pednekar shared the trailer on her official social media handle and wrote, “You can try to escape, but the chase never stops…Ek Afwaah aapki zindagi palat sakti hai.”
Producer Anubhav Sinha opened up about the upcoming film. “”It’s been an enriching experience collaborating with Sudhir on this important film. I believe ‘Afwaah’ is a very important film that accomplishes our objective of producing films that are high on content “
Director Sudhir Mishra said, “What if the monster chasing you is a bloody rumour? Basically you’re screwed because there’s no place to hide. The monster will always get there before you. What is worse is that sometimes the monster comes in the shape of a friend or a lover or a parent. If this is not the basis of an f-ing good thriller, then I don’t know what is! Presenting my reaction to our times: Afwaah.”
