The Lady Killer trailer released. Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar make their inaugural on-screen pairing in a captivating romantic thriller, "The Ladykiller," helmed by director Ajay Bahl, renowned for his work in "Blurr." This highly anticipated film is slated for a cinematic release on November 3, promising audiences a thrilling cinematic experience.
The intriguing trailer introduces Arjun Kapoor as an outsider who embarks on a journey to the picturesque Uttarakhand. However, his character differs significantly from his previous role as Sandeep in Dibakar Banerjee's "Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar." Within the realm of an old mansion, he crosses paths with Bhumi's enigmatic character, leading to an intense and passionate romance. Yet, as the narrative unfolds, it becomes apparent that not everything is as it seems. Bhumi's character is portrayed with a hint of mystery and shades of grey, and the palpable sexual tension between her and Arjun may evoke memories of Arjun's debut film, "Ishaqzaade," which featured Parineeti Chopra as his co-star.
"The Ladykiller," directed by Ajay Bahl, is a small-town tale that delves into the life of a "playboy" who falls in love with a "self-destructive beauty," igniting a whirlwind romance. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series. Ajay, who also pens the screenplay, boasts a diverse portfolio, having directed films such as "BA Pass" (2012), "Section 375" (2019), and the Taapsee Pannu-starrer thriller "Blurr" (2022).
Arjun Kapoor's most recent appearance was in Aasman Bhardwaj's directorial debut, the crime thriller "Kuttey," earlier this year. Bhumi Pednekar, on the other hand, featured in Karan Boolani's sex comedy "Thank You For Coming" earlier this month. In addition to "The Ladykiller," Bhumi will grace the screen in "Bhakshak" and "Meri Patni Ka Remake," marking a reunion with Arjun Kapoor.
Bhumi also holds the distinction of currently serving as the Brand Ambassador for the Dimensions section of the ongoing Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, which is set to conclude on November 5. She recently conducted a masterclass with MAMI Chairperson Priyanka Chopra at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) on the festival's third day.
