Last Updated:
Murderbaad boasts a star-studded cast, featuring new talents Nakul Roshan Sahdev and Kanikka Kapur, along with Sharib Hashmi, Manish Chaudhari and others.
The trailer for the upcoming romantic thriller Murderbaad was released on Monday, July 7. Directed by Arnab Chatterjee in his debut Hindi feature, the film takes viewers to the peaceful and vibrant city of Jaipur. The trailer begins with a driver, Maqsood, introducing a guide, Jayesh, who is fluent in English, to a tour company for a group of NRIs visiting Rajasthan.
But what starts as a simple story of a guest, Isabella, slowly falling in love with the tour guide, takes a sinister turn when one of the guests, Shaili, goes missing from a grand palace in Rajasthan. Soon, the police jump into action and question everyone, including the other guests and the owner of the tour company. While the trailer hints that the driver might be behind the guest's disappearance, the case gets more and more twisted with every revelation.
The simple missing case soon unravels a web of dark secrets and long-buried truths of human psychology. The trailer teases with a gripping line that goes, 'where love and death collide,' pointing out that every character in the film harbours a hidden motive.
Arnab Chatterjee discussed his first Hindi feature film, revealing that he started working on Murderbaad five years back while he was still in college. In a statement, he said, 'It's inspired by the romance and thrill I grew up watching, but I wanted to set that mood in a distinctly rooted setting. At its core, it's about the stories people bury to protect their identity. I'm grateful to have had such a talented cast and crew bring this vision to life."
Murderbaad boasts a star-studded cast, featuring new talents Nakul Roshan Sahdev and Kanikka Kapur, along with industry veterans Sharib Hashmi, Manish Chaudhari, Amole Gupte, Aanjjan Srivastav and Vibha Chhibber, among others.
Sharib, who plays the role of the driver Maqsood, shared that Arnab left no stone unturned in 'bringing together a complete mix of fresh and extremely experienced members in the team." Expressing his joy in working with him and the entire cast, he added, 'I've enjoyed every day on set. The film is very unique in its own way, both in terms of story as well as the way it got made, with a 24-year-old (at the time of shooting) director-producer being at the top of it. I pray for all the luck to our film, and wish Arnab all the success that he deserves in future."
Murderbaad is written and directed by Arnab Chatterjee, who also produced it under his banner, ACjee Entertainment. The romantic thriller is set to lock horns with YRF's Saiyaara on July 18.
