Shiddat trailer: This Sunny Kaushal, Radhika Madan, Mohit Raina and Diana Penty’s film looks like an intense love story

A few days ago, it was announced that Sunny Kaushal, Radhika Madan, Mohit Raina, and Diana Penty starrer Shiddat will get a direct-to-digital release on Disney+ Hotstar.

Now, the trailer of the film has been released. Disney+ Hotstar took to Twitter to share the trailer.


They posted, “Feel the power of love with #ShiddatTrailer out now. #Shiddat releasing on 1st October on #DisneyPlusHotstarMultiplex Watch trailer now.”

The trailer of Shiddat is interesting and the film looks like an intense love story. However, let’s hope that it doesn’t turn out to be the usual Bollywood romantic film, and offers something new and different.

The movie stars Sunny Kaushal and Radhika Madan in the lead roles and both the actors are good in the trailer. But the show-stealer is Mohit Raina. His entry takes the trailer a notch higher. Diana Penty doesn’t get much scope in the trailer, but she looks pretty in it.

While talking about the movie, producer Dinesh Vijan said, “As a genre, love stories are timeless, they have always been embraced by audiences. An emotion each and every one of us has felt, the agony, the ecstasy, the whole grandeur of romance is what we have tried to capture in Shiddat.”

Directed by Kunal Deshmukh, Shiddat will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on 1st October 2021.

5 mythological picks now streaming in the UK — and why they’re worth watching

Highlights:

  • Indian mythological titles are landing on global OTT services with better quality and reach.
  • Netflix leads the push with Kurukshetra and Mahavatar Narsimha.
  • UK viewers can access some titles now, though licensing varies.
  • Regional stories and folklore films are expanding the genre.
  • 2025 marks the start of long-form mythological world-building on OTT.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
