Patralekhaa praises Bhool Chuk Maaf trailer
Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi starrer Bhool Chuk Maaf trailer has finally been released. The romantic comedy has impressed everyone with its storyline. Patralekhaa has also praised the trailer and called it fun. The film is releasing on May 9 in theatres.
Taking to her Instagram stories, Patralekhaa shared the trailer video and wrote, “this looks so much fun”. To which Rajkummar Rao reacts and wrote, “My love”. The trailer begins with a glimpse of Rajkummar Rao’s incredible comic timing during an interaction between his family and Wamiqa’s. It soon cuts to their haldi ceremony, which somehow, never seems to end. Every day, Rajkummar wakes up to his haldi that takes place on the 29th, waiting for the wedding to take place a day after, on 30th. But the day never comes. The story then follows the actor who wracks his brain to understand how to get himself out of the situation.
Take a look here:
Last month, the makers announced the release date of Bhool Chuk Maaf with a rib-tickling video. They captioned it, “Stree 2 me hasane ke baad, Rajkummar Rao is back with a rib-tickling comedy! Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films bring 2025’s most hilarious and bhasadwaali shaadi. Kya Rajkummar Rao aur Wamiqa Gabbi ki shaadi ho paayegi? Find out in Karan Sharma’s rom-com Bhool Chuk Maaf, in cinemas on 9th May.”
The heartwarming romantic comedy is directed and written by Karan Sharma. Set in the vibrant lanes of Varanasi, the formula of a small-town romance has mostly found success in Bollywood due to its relatability. Bhool Chuk Maaf is backed by Dinesh Vijan, maker of Stree 2, Luka Chuppi and Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, in association with Amazon MGM Studios.
On the work front, Pratik Gandhi and Patralekhaa’s upcoming film, Phule, has been postponed owing to multiple controversies. Reportedly, the film has upset the Brahmin community, alleging it promotes casteism. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has asked the makers to make multiple edits to the film before release. Phule will now be released after two weeks – April 25, 2025, instead of April 11, 2025.
The Brahmin Federation President Anand Dave watched the trailer of Phule and claimed that it promotes casteism. He also demanded that the contribution of the ‘black Brahmin’ community in aiding the Phules should be acknowledged. Amid the controversy, former state minister Chhagan Bhujbal met director Ananth Mahadevan and the producers to address the controversy.
