The trailer for Akshat Verma’s Kaalakaandi starring Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Oberoi, Kunaal Roy Kapur, Deepak Dobriyal, Vijay Raaz, Shobita Dhulipala and Isha Talwar, channels Isaac Newton’s third law of gravity. ‘Every action has a reaction,’ declares the trailer, demonstrating the impact of the ‘equal’ and ‘opposite’ bits of the rule.
Saif Ali Khan’s character learns that he doesn’t have a stomach ulcer. He actually has cancer. This piece of information sets off a series of reactions, all of which have consequences. Hope, greed, love and lust gang up to provide all the drama, all of which takes place over the course of a single night.
Written and directed by the writer of Delhi Belly (2011), Akshat Verma, Kaalakaandi too is a black comedy. Produced by Cinestaan Film Company and Flying Unicorn Entertainment, the film will hit the screens on January 12.
