Massey's comic timing highlighted in 'Blackout' trailer
The trailer showcases Massey's comic timing and his rapport with co-star Grover.
He portrays Lenny D'Souza, a sting operation journalist who discovers a treasure following an accident during a blackout.
His character is seen in various disguises, including one where he dons a turban and a long beard.
The plot traces his journey as his ambition to become the "badshaah (king)" unfolds.
Despite his acting chops, however, the trailer is low on entertainment.
