New Delhi: After making a big impression in 'Chhorii', Nushrratt Bharuccha is back with another tough role. The teaser of Nushrratt Bharuccha's upcoming film ‘Akelli’ was released yesterday. The first glimpse of the film gives us an insight into the thrilling ride the audience will experience on its release. Starring Nushrratt as the main lead, ‘Akelli’ is a soul-stirring tale of a girl who falls into the trap of a dangerous world, owing to her circumstances and her eventual struggle to escape.
The teaser begins with a view of trucks in a war-torn country. The scene then changes to a truck unloading a group of women, which includes Nushrratt Bharuccha's character. She is then taken to a basement, which makes her feel sick to her stomach. Will she be okay? ‘Akelli’ is about an Indian girl who is stuck in a war-torn country and becomes a slave.
Talking about her experience of shooting for ‘Akelli’, Nushrratt shared, "Akelli has been an overwhelming experience altogether and far from any role I have played till now. It was emotionally draining for me to portray a character like this, and it makes you think of all the challenges that someone so young must have to go through to provide for their loved ones. I am hoping the audience will be able to connect with my character's journey and will hopefully like it."
The director of the film, Pranay Meshram said, "We all have been working non-stop for this day, and it's finally here, the teaser is out. Our film is an ode to all the strong women out there who are braving it all alone for the love and safety of their families. The story is close to our hearts, and I'm sure the audience will relate with it."
Directed by Pranay Meshram, ‘Akelli’ also stars Nishant Dahiya, Tsahi Halevi and Amir Boutrous. The thriller is all set to release on 18th August 2023.
