The trailer of Sonakshi Sinha’s Khandaani Shafakhana just dropped. The film marks the Bollywood debut of singer-rapper Badshah. Khandaani Shafakhana is helmed by debutante director Shilpi Dasgupta. The film talks about sex in a quirky and comic way. Sonakshi Sinha and Varun Sharma play siblings in the film. Sonakshi is forced to run a clinic that prompts her to talk to men about sex and sexual disorders, a topic that is a taboo in small cities.
Watch the trailer here:
On 19 June, Sonakshi Sinha had revealed the first look of the film. “Main jitna bolungi logo ko utni hi शर्म aani hai,” she wrote as the caption for the poster on Instagram.
The poster shows Sonakshi standing among a bunch of men, including Badshah, who are seen hiding their faces. There is also a board which has ‘sex clinic’ written on it and hints at Sonakshi’s character being named ‘Baby Bedi’.
Sonakshi had announced the release date of the film on her Instagram. While posting a photo of the team she had also revealed that, after struggling with the name of the film for very long, the makers had finally settled on ‘Khandaani Shafakhani’.
Rapper singer Badshah had made the announcement that he’d be joining the film in February 2019. He took to Twitter to write, “Journey begins today. Need your wishes and blessings.”
Recently, the makers also released a poster of the film. The film also stars actors Varun Sharma, Annu Kapoor.
