Akshay, Bhumi fight for love, toilets and more
Akshay Kumar unveiled the first trailer of his much-awaited film opposite Bhumi Pednekar, “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha” on Sunday evening.
The two main characters, Jaya and Keshav, get married but the bride soon leaves as her in-laws do not have a toilet in their house. The husband then takes it on himself to ensure that his entire village gets toilets.
The trailer addresses various issues like gender discrimination, sanitation issues, and irrational traditional beliefs - all of it done with a dash of entertainment. The three-minute long video promises to be a thorough entertainer, fusing in humour, drama, and intense human sentiments brought to boil in a story that the movie says is inspired by true incidents.
The Bollywood fraternity responded with excitement and support for the film, with Karan Johar, Anil Kapoor, John Abraham, Ayushmann Khurrana, Athiya Shetty, Huma Qureshi, and Esha Gupta, among others, tweeting praises for it.
Recently, Akshay Kumar (who won the National Film Award this year for “Rustom”) met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and shared the theme and title of his movie.
Directed by Shree Narayan Singh, “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha” stars Bhumi Pednekar opposite Akshay Kumar. The film is scheduled for release on August 11.
