The teaser of Radhika Apte and Divyenndu starrer murder-mystery Saali Mohabbat was unveiled by the makers on Friday. Also featuring Anurag Kashyap, the film is the directorial debut of actor Tisca Chopra.
The teaser follows Divyenndu, a small-town cop, who is investigating a double-murder. The suspect is Radhika’s Smita, a housewife, whose husband (played by Anshumaan Pushkar) doesn’t respect her. The husband also might be having an affair. The film seems to be a mystery, with a hint of romance, whose characters might not be what they seem.
Saali Mohabbat premiered at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) last year and was screened at the Chicago South Asian Film Festival this year.
As per an earlier press note shared by the makers, “The film follows Smita (Radhika), a small-town housewife whose seemingly ordinary life descends into a labyrinth of infidelity, deceit, and moral ambiguity. What begins as a tale of domestic routine soon unfolds into a gripping exploration of betrayal, revenge, and the thin, treacherous line between truth and illusion.”
Saali Mohabbat also features Sauraseni Maitra and Sharat Saxena. It is produced by Jio Studios and Manish Malhotra’s Stage5 Production. The film will land directly on ZEE5.
