Vital Bhatt’s upcoming film is named after an English film, Hangover. However, the subject does not bear any reference to the Hollywood film, says the director, who has come up with a suspense thriller.

“My film shows the effects of drinking. The story revolves around three boys and girls who attend a party, which is followed by the death of one of the girls in the group. Then an investigative officer unravels the case,” says Vital, adding, “This film also brings out a message as to how children should not misuse their freedom.”

With fresh faces such as Bharath, Raj, Chirag, Mahali Bhikshu, Shahan Monnama, Nandini Nataraj, and Telugu artiste Shafi playing pivotal roles, the cast of Hangover also includes Ninasam Aswath, Spandana, Kailash and Niranjan Shetty. It features Neethu Shetty in a special song as well.

Hangover, which will be released this week, is the second outing of Vital Bhat after Preeti Kitabu.
