The trailer of Abhinay Deo’s directorial ‘Blackमेल’ starring Irrfan, in a nutshell, raises the question: ‘What will you do if you catch your wife cheating on you?’.

Scriptwriter Parveez Shaikh and director Abhinay Deo have worked on a script that is set in an Indian metropolitan city with Irrfan’s character as the protagonist. The teaser of the film was released on Valentine’s Day and it immediately created a stir on the Internet with its quirkiness. The trailer of the film takes it to a level ahead. It starts with Irrfan realizing that his wife is cheating on him. But instead of reacting violently, Irrfan immediately comes up with the plan of Blackmailing his wife’s boyfriend.

‘Blackमेल’ takes the case of infidelity and turns it on its head. In the past, there have been numerous cases where partners have reacted very violently when they have discovered that their significant other is cheating on them. Most recently Akshay Kumar’s Rustom was based on the infamous Nanavati Case where naval officer K. M. Nanavati murdered his wife’s lover Prem Ahuja.

Irrfan took to Twitter to share the trailer saying, “Trailer of ‘#Blackमेल’ is finally here! Directed by the acclaimed #AbhinayDeo of ‘Delhi Belly’ fame. A talented star-cast that includes @IamKirtiKulhari, #ArunodaySingh, @divyadutta25 & @OmiOneKenobe. In Cinemas 6th April, 2018. @tseries #RDPMotionPictures”.

Coming from the director of ‘Delhi Belly’, ‘Blackमेल’ has generated immense buzz amongst the audience to witness the crazy comedy.

‘Blackमेल’ marks the first-ever collaboration of Abhinay Deo and the award-winning team of Hindi Medium, i.e. Irrfan and T-Series.

Starring an ensemble cast comprising Irrfan, Kirti Kulhari, Divya Dutta, Arunoday Singh, Omi Vaidya, Anuja Sathe, Pradhuman Singh Mall, Gajraj Rao amongst many others, the film promises to be a crazy comedy backed by entertaining performers.

Produced by T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar and RDP Motion Pictures’ Abhinay Deo, Blackमेल directed by Abhinay Deo is slated to release on 6th April, 2018.
