Context
Why does this story matter?
The makers of Malhotra's upcoming comedy-drama, Kathal, dropped the official trailer of the film on Thursday. Apart from starring Malhotra in the lead, it also features Rajpal Yadav, Vijay Raaz, and Gurpal Singh in comic roles.
Instead of a theatrical release, the film's makers have decided to opt for an OTT release and it is slated to stream online later this month.
Details
The curious case of missing jackfruits
The trailer of Kathal is about 2:30-minute in length. It promises of providing a good laugh to the audience.
Kathal features Raaz as a politician whose jackfruits have gone missing, Malhotra as a cop who has been put on a job to search for the jackfruits, Singh as Malhotra's senior, and Yadav as the journalist reporting the missing case.
Inspiration
'Kathal' is inspired by true events
As bizarre as it may sound, the upcoming movie is said to be inspired by true events. A similar case happened in 2014 when two jackfruits were stolen from a JDU MP's garden.
Per reports, a team of Delhi police, crime bureau officials, and fingerprint experts were constituted to catch the thieves. It isn't clear if Kathal is inspired by this incident.
