The much-awaited trailer of Kangana Ranaut’s Dhaakad dropped on Friday, and the actor has managed to leave fans astounded with her fiery avatar. Playing a spy named Agent Agni, Kangana promises to set the silver screen on fire with her action-packed avatar.
In the trailer, Kangana’s Agent Agni is seen taking orders from her ‘ringmaster’. Agni is shown as the perfect killing machine. She is soon ordered to work on India’s biggest human trafficking case, that’s being operated from the coal mines. And then emerges Arjun Rampal in his desi villain avatar. The next minute or so gives a glimpse of Kangana changing looks like a chameleon as she tries to solve the case. There is also a secret involved that leaves the otherwise ‘dhaakad’ spy in tears.
Talking about Dhaakad, Kangana Ranaut in a statement said, “It has been a long-standing dream of mine to take up challenging parts and be part of movies that change the norm. Dhaakad is one such film. I enjoyed playing Agent Agni who stops at nothing. Dhaakad is a genre-defining film and we’ve worked very hard to create something that lived up to the dream that we had envisioned. Agent Agni is a force of nature and embodies the strength within us and the film is a celebration of grit and power.”
“Dhaakad being my first film will always be close to my heart. Kangana is the new brooding action hero. Her understanding of a screenplay is simply outstanding. She has aced all the intricately choreographed action sequences with perfection. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with her and watch her effortlessly pull off this demanding role. She is an acting powerhouse. Arjun, my brother, has brought his invaluable experience to Rudhraveer’s role. His character, vibrates with an infectious energy that only an actor of his calibre could have brought to the table. He has also pushed the bar with his looks and style for Dhaakad which will catch everyone’s attention. Divya’s commanding performance is remarkable. She gets into the skin of the character and has nailed every detail of it – the accent, the lingo, the body language to really transform herself. She is an absolute blast in this movie,” director Razneesh Razy Ghai added.
Apart from Kangana Ranaut, Dhaakad also stars Arjun Rampal, Saswata Chatterjee and Divya Dutta in pivotal roles. It will hit cinema halls on May 20.
