    Hashmi and Balan starrer Ghanchakkar to release on 21 June 2013

    MUMBAI: UTV Motion Pictures today announced that Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan starrer Ghanchakkar will be released on 21 June 2013.

    The film is a comic-thriller and is directed by Rajkumar Gupta with Hashmi and Balan playing the male and female lead respectively. This is Gupta‘s third consecutive film UTV after Aamir and No One Killed Jessica. The film has music by composer Amit Trivedi and lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

    Ghanchakkar narrates the story of the protagonist, an ex-conman named Sanju. He is laid back and has a taste for finer things in life. The problem is – he has an ambitious wife (played by Balan) with her own notions of the world and therefore gets sucked into a ‘chakkar‘ and has to suffer two thugs in the process – one with a bad ailment and one with a bad sense of humour, leading to madness, confusion and chaos and unleashing some mad cap characters in his life. Will Sanju survive the madness and prevent himself from turning into a Ghanchakkar? is the plot of the film.

    Ghanchakkar narrates the story of the protagonist (Emraan) who is an ex-conman. He is laid back and has a taste for finer things in life. He has an ambitious wife (played by Vidya) with her own notions of the world and, therefore, gets sucked into a ‘chakkar‘ and has to suffer two thugs in the process – one with a bad ailment and one with a bad sense of humour, leading to madness, confusion and chaos and unleashing some mad cap characters in his life. Will Sanju survive the madness and prevent himself from turning into a Ghanchakkar, is the crux of the film.

    MUMBAI: Continuing its association with director Rajkumar Gupta, UTV Motion Pictures has signed the director to helm their forthcoming film Ghanchakkar while it has also signed Emraan Hashmi to play a stellar role in the film.

    UTV Motion Pictures CEO Siddharth Roy Kapur said, “After two back-to-back hits Aamir and No One Killed Jessica, we are thrilled to announce our next film Ghanchakkar with Rajkumar Gupta. What makes this even more exciting is that we will be working with Emraan Hashmi for the first time in the film.”

    Hashmi plays the title character in Ghanchakkar, that of a suave safe-cracker who likes the finer things in life. He decides to pull off one last heist which leads to unexpected confusion and chaos. The question is does he get out of it without losing it and who is conning whom?
     
    This is Hashmi‘s first film with UTV Motion Pictures. Hashmi said, “It‘s great to be associated with UTV and Rajkumar Gupta. Ghanchakkar is one of the best scripts I‘ve heard in recent times. Commercial, edgy and very entertaining, I am sure this one‘s going to be a landmark film in my career.”

    Of his third film with UTV, director Gupta said, “Ghanchakkar is a quasi-realistic urban comedy/thriller highlighting the absurdity of certain real human situations. Very excited to have Emraan on board and glad to be taking forward my association with Ronnie and his amazing team at UTV after Aamir and No One Killed Jessica. We made the audience cry in Aamir and No One Killed Jessica and with Ghanchakkar we‘re going to make them laugh.”
