Nushrat Bharucha on her film Chhalaang releasing directly on streaming platform

By: Mohnish Singh

Nushrat Bharucha, who was last seen in Dream Girl (2019) alongside Ayushmann Khurrana, is presently busy promoting her upcoming film Chhalaang. Initially scheduled to release in theatres in March, the social back-comedy film is now set to premiere directly on streaming media giant Amazon Prime Video.


When asked about her reaction to Chhalaang releasing on a digital platform instead of theatres, Bharucha said in an interview, “I am happy that it is finally reaching the audience because we were waiting for people to watch it. It had been ready for a while. I am really glad that it is coming on an OTT platform like Amazon Prime as it has the correct audience for us. I think we will have better viewership and film will reach more people than we had expected because TV has a higher reach.”

The Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) actress plays the role of a computer teacher in the upcoming film, while National Award-winning actor Rajkummar Rao will be seen as her love-interest. He plays a lazy PT teacher who does not take much interest in his job. Talented actors Saurabh Shukla, Satish Kaushik, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Ila Arun, and Jatin Sarna round off the cast.

This is the first time Rajkummar Rao and Nushrat Bharucha are working together on a project. The trailer of the film has already received a good response from the audience, and now everyone is waiting for its premiere on Amazon Prime Video.

Directed by well-known filmmaker Hansal Mehta, Chhalaang is a Luv Films’ production presented by Gulshan Kumar and Bhushan Kumar. It has been produced by Ajay Devgn, Luv Ranjan, and Ankur Garg. The much-awaited film is slated to start streaming on 13th November only on Amazon Prime Video.

Riz Ahmed’s 'Hamlet' trailer drops murder suspicion into a South Asian business dynasty

Highlights:

  • Hamlet trailer lands with Riz Ahmed in the lead role
  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025
  • Cast includes Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Sheeba Chadha and Art Malik

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
