A series of bizarre scenes feature in the teaser for Vijay Deverakonda’s upcoming thriller Taxiwaala: a doctor and a compounder appear paralysed in a hospital corridor; a man seems to be stuck in mid-air in an elevator shaft; there’s a masked man and a speeding car; a patient wakes up screaming on a hospital bed.
“Recently a young man in Kerala wanted to try this and killed his own family,” says a man to a bunch of students in a classroom without revealing much else. Vijay Deverakonda’s character, a taxi driver, makes an entry, and one is led to believe that this character definitely knows something.
“Ladies and Gentleman, with dance performances and acting like never before, with wonderful actors and actresses, we welcome you to this folk film,” the teaser declares.
Directed and written by Rahul Sankrityan, the film also stars Priyanka Jawalkar and Malavika Nair. The release date hasn’t been announced.
