Akshay Kumar's 'Cuttputlli' gears up for OTT premiere; teaser dropped
Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has shared the teaser of his new movie, Cuttputlli on Friday. Sharing the video on social media, he revealed that the film is gearing for a direct-to-OTT debut and Disney+ Hotstar has bagged the streaming rights. Touted to be a thriller, Cuttputlli will be released on September 2. He also stated that a trailer will be shared on Saturday.
Why does this story matter?
After continuous failures in 2022, this film will mark Kumar's first digital outing of the year. His other films: Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, and the recently released Raksha Bandhan made the headlines for all wrong reasons, as they all turned out to be box office duds. So, expectations from Cuttputlli are pretty high. But will they be met? Let's wait and watch!
What did the teaser of 'Cuttputlli' show?
In the half-minute teaser, Kumar can be seen in khakhi, trying to hunt down a serial killer. We will see Khiladi Kumar don the police's cap again. We have already seen him playing a police officer in films like Main Khiladi Tu Anari and Sooryavanshi, among others. The intense background score elevates the mood of the film, making us eager about its trailer.
