The trailer for the upcoming romantic comedy Jabariya Jodi starring Parineeti Chopra and Sidharth Malhotra was launched in Mumbai on Monday 1 July. The trailer launch event was a fun little affair where the cast and the crew made it to support the film despite the onset of Mumbai’s roaring Monsoon.
Jabariya Jodi is a comedic take on groom kidnappings in Bihar, commonly referred to as ‘pakadwa vivah’. Sidharth plays the role of a gangster named Abhay Singh, who takes on contracts to kidnap grooms. Parineeti plays a feisty girl named Babli Yadav.
The two stars danced together, posed with gangsters and a kidnapped groom, giving a playful tease of their characters in the film.
Take a look at the pictures.
