Diana Penty stuns in a new avatar — a no-nonsense, razor-sharp detective in Detective Sherdil, opposite the ever-entertaining Diljit Dosanjh. The trailer has just hit the internet and it's everything we didn't know we needed - mystery, comedy, and a whole lot of cat-and-mouse chaos!
And the two are out to solve a murder mystery. The film also stars Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah in crucial roles. Irani plays a business tycoon who has been murdered in broad daylight. This is yet another whodunit after Chhal Kapat, Housefull 5, Criminal Justice 4, and many more titles.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
Talking about his character, Boman Irani said, 'While the character dies early in the film, the fact is that because an investigation unfolds throughout, each suspect shares their side of the story. In their versions, the character resurfaces, talking about their relationship with them and, of course, the plot points that become contextual through these flashbacks. So, the character runs through the film, but yes, technically dies early on.'
He added, 'So, this film came to me around the Covid period it was the first film that was offered to me during that time. The director, Ravi Chhabariya, called me personally. I just love the genre the whodunnit. Some of my favourite films fall in that space: multiple suspects, one person dead, many who could have done it… and of course, the family intrigue and structure.'
'Ravi Chhabariya a young man making this film called me and said, 'Look, you may not think it's an important role, but I asked Ali Abbas Zafar, and he said maybe this is my first choice. Worst-case scenario, he might say no, but there's also a chance he might say yes.' The moment he said that, I said yes. There you go and off we went to Budapest, and had the most beautiful, experiential days. For me, the director along with the script is the most important reason to say yes to a film. And I'm really, really fond of that young man,' continued Irani.

Akshay Kumar REACTS to similar stunt scenes in Khiladi franchise and Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible: 'I am inspired by Tom and Jerry'
Akshay Kumar, Bollywood's action star, revealed that his stunt inspiration comes from the cartoon Tom & Jerry, not Hollywood. He humorously pointed out the cartoon's relentless action and chaos, recalling recreating scenes like hanging from a helicopter and clinging to a plane in his films. Kumar's daring 20-year-old plane stunt recently resurfaced, drawing comparisons to Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible. Before Tom Cruise stunned the world by hanging off airplanes in Mission: Impossible, Bollywood's own daredevil Akshay Kumar had already done it—and with signature flair. In a recent interview, the Khiladi star reflected on his viral stunt legacy, surprising everyone by crediting Tom & Jerry—not Hollywood—as his true action inspiration. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Housefull 5 star addressed the buzz around his viral 'aeroplane' stunt, which many compared to Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible action scenes. Surprisingly, the actor revealed that his real inspiration often comes from classic Tom & Jerry cartoons, not Hollywood thrillers. The actor amusingly credited Tom & Jerry as a surprising source of inspiration for his stunts. He pointed out that while the cartoon is meant for children, it's packed with relentless action and chaos—calling it one of the most violent shows he's seen. He further went on to reveal how several of his stunts were directly inspired by Tom & Jerry. He recalled scenes like Tom hanging from a helicopter to grab Jerry—something he recreated in Sabse Bada Khiladi—and clinging to a plane, which he pulled off in Khiladi 420. He even remembered doing a version of the cartoon's quirky mid-air wine scene in Khatron Ke Khiladi. Akshay joked that Tom & Jerry is actually one of the most violent shows kids watch, laughing as he pointed out how much chaos and destruction is packed into each episode. Akshay Kumar's daring 20-year-old stunt—where he hangs off a flying plane and confidently stands atop it—recently resurfaced and went viral amid the buzz around Mission: Impossible 8. Fans pointed out that Akshay pulled off the high-risk move long before Hollywood's Tom Cruise made it iconic, proving once again why he's called the Khiladi of Bollywood.
