The trailer of Jockey 42, starring Kiran Raj in the lead, will be screened in theatres along with Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups from August 26. The trailer will give audiences their first extended look at the film, which is yet to announce its theatrical release date.
Kiran Raj, currently popular for playing Karna in the Kannada television serial Karna, leads the film, which is set against the backdrop of horse racing. The story, however, has been kept largely under wraps, with the trailer expected to reveal more about the characters and the central conflict.
Produced by Bharathi Sathyanarayana under the banner of Golden Gate Studios, Jockey 42 is directed by Gurutej Shetty, who has also penned the screenplay and dialogues. The film features Hrithika Srinivas, Yuktha, Rajendra Karanth, Deepak Rai, Chetan Rai Mani, Madhusudhan Rao, Arun Achar and Girish Hegde, among others.
The makers have already released two songs from the film, giving audiences an early glimpse into its musical side. Another song is also expected to be released after the trailer, as the team continues its promotional campaign.
The decision to screen the trailer alongside Toxic comes ahead of the film’s release and gives Jockey 42 a prominent theatrical window to introduce itself to moviegoers. With Toxic set for a worldwide release on August 26, the trailer will reach audiences at the beginning of its promotional push.
For Kiran Raj, the film also marks an important theatrical outing who is enjoying his television popularity and his presence on big screen. Jockey 42 now prepares to reveal its first major visual material before announcing its release date.
With a horse-racing backdrop, an ensemble cast and Kiran Raj in the lead, the trailer is expected to provide the first clear indication of what Gurutej Shetty has planned with Jockey 42.
