New Delhi: The trailer of the upcoming series 'Gun & Gulaabs' starring Rajkummar Rao, Gulshan Devaiah and Dulquer Salmaan, was released on Wednesday. The series, created by Raj & DK, will release on Netflix on August 18.
Inspired by the misfits of the world, the series is set in the 90s. It is billed as a story that depicts love and innocence though it is set in a world of crime, as per the official description of the series.
Set in the fictional city of Gulaabganj, the two-minute-long trailer showcases pop culture references and retro references. The key characters of the series are introduced in the trailer, while the background score by Usha Uthup's song 'Rambha Ho' from the 1981 film 'Armaan' can be heard throughout.
‘Guns & Gulaabs’ marks the first directorial venture of Raj & DK with streamer Netflix. They earlier made shows ‘The Family Man’ and ‘Farzi’ for Prime Video and are currently working on the Indian chapter of ‘Citadel’ for the streamer.
Talking about the release of their new series, creators Raj & DK said that they both feel "excited and exhausted."
Talking about his character Pana Tipu, Rajkummar said: "I think the credit goes to Raj and DK. They bring everything different. What they think no one can think. When I read about the character, I was like should I love him or be scared of him. That fascinated me. He means business."
On his digital debut, Dulquer added: "What I loved about my career is that I’ve never made any grand plans. So getting a call from Raj and DK is a validation for me. Loved the world that has been created (by them). For me, it has been a learning experience. It was a no brainier to be a part of it."
On his dangerous character, Gulshan said: "Aapki hasi Bhi chootegi, aansu bhi niklenge and khoon bhi bahega!"
The cast also includes Adarsh Gourav, T.J. Bhanu and the late Satish Kaushik in one of his last screen roles.
