The trailer of Sonakshi Sinha, Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem starrer Kakuda was unveiled by the makers recently. The film is helmed by Munjya director Aditya Sarpotdar.
As seen in the trailer, Kakuda follows the story of Sunny played by Saqib Saleem, a less-educated guy who is in love with Indira portrayed by Sonakshi Sinha. Determined to be together, they marry and move to the village of Ratodi only to be cursed by an evil spirit called ‘Kakuda’. On their wedding night, Sunny fails to open the smaller door for Kakuda at 7.15 pm sharp, inviting the wicked ghost who punishes the man of the house by inflicting a hump on their back that grows until their demise on the thirteenth day. With Sunny's life hanging by a thread, Indira seeks help from Victor, an eccentric ghost hunter played by Riteish Deshmukh.
Talking about his role, Riteish said, “Playing the role of Victor, an unconventional ghost hunter, allowed me to tap into a side of my acting abilities that I hadn’t fully explored before. This character is unlike any other I've portrayed, and that's what makes it so exciting.”
Sonakshi Sinha added, “I must admit, balancing horror with comedy is a challenging task – it's not easy to make people laugh while simultaneously sending chills down their spines. But this film was an absolute blast to shoot, especially because of my co actors Ritesh, Saqib and Aasif who are so funny in real life as well and such talented actors”
Kakuda is slated to release on ZEE5 on July 12.
