| ||||
Sidharth Malhotra, who was last seen in Aiyaari and Parineeti Chopra, who was last seen in Kesari are coming together on screen again after Hasee Toh Phasee. This movie is tiled as Jabariya Jodi and is based on the real-life practice of pakadwa shaadi, prevalent in certain places in India’s heartland, where grooms are kidnapped by the bride’s family and married off at gunpoint in order to avoid paying exuberant dowry. We recently got to know that Sidharth and Parineeti will be meeting the real life Jabariya Jodis from all over the country and will interact with them. These couples then, will share their experiences of being married through pakadwa shaadi. Director Prashant Singh stated, “The response to the trailer and songs has been great, and many such jodis have connected with us and are happy that we’re bringing this issue to light. Though the film has a comical treatment, we are also highlighting the decade-long practice of forced marriages. Since many instances of groom kidnapping have been incorporated in the film, we decided to organize an interactive session between these real jodis and our reel Jabariya Jodi to start a conversation around this subject.” Besides, Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra, Jabariya Jodi will also star Aparshakti Khurana, Sanjay Mishra, Jaaved Jaaferi, Neeraj Sood, Gopal Dutt and Chandan Roy Sanyal. Directed by Prashant Singh, the movie is produced by Ekta Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor, Shailesh R. Singh. The movie is slated to release on August 2, 2019. |
