The trailer for ace actor Rajkummar Rao's 'Chhalaang' was released last week by Amazon Prime Video. The film, that also features Nushratt Bharuccha, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Saurabh Shukla, portrays Rao in the character of a physical training (PT) teacher in a small school in Haryana. Speaking in a recent press conference, Rao spoke about the importance of playing relatable characters, and how characters from the heartland make for inspiring heroes.
Rao said, “Our audience has really evolved. They want to see real stories and characters on screen. That's the reason the new generation of filmmakers and writers are writing relatable stories and characters. The audience wants to watch such kind of cinema which is a great sign. We get to play a range of characters, and get to tell real stories from the heartland.”
The movie features Bharuccha as a computer teacher in the film. She also feels there is a shift in cinema as the audience wants to know stories of relatable characters.
'Chhalaang' marks the sixth collaboration between filmmaker Hansal Mehta and actor Rajkummar Rao. It will stream on Amazon Prime Video starting November 13.
