The makers of Chhalaang have released the first poster. It features Rajkummar Rao dozing off on a chair with children gazing at him. Standing in the circle is Nushrat Bharucha, who plays the female lead. The presence of cricket stumps, a deflated football and a shuttlecock suggest a sporty theme for Hansal Mehta’s next. 

According to the makers, Chhalaang is “a hilarious yet inspirational journey of a PT Master from a semi government-funded school in Northern India. Montu (Rajkummar Rao) is a typical PT Master for whom it’s just a job. When circumstances put everything that Montu cares for at stake, including Neelu (played Nushrat Bharuch), who he loves, Montu is forced to do what he has never done - Teach.” 

Through Montu’s journey, Chhalaang addresses the value of sports education in the school curriculum.

The social comedy is written by Luv Ranjan, Aseem Arora, and Zeishan Quadri. Produced By Ajay Devgn, Luv Ranjan, and Ankur Garg, the film is set for release on March 13.
