  • Get Ready for a Ride of Love: Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor to Spark Bawaal on your screens!

    Get Ready for a Ride of Love: Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor to Spark Bawaal on your screens!

    Mumbai: Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions as the highly anticipated film Bawaal gears up for its &pictures premiere on &Pictures on 25 February Sun at 8 pm. Starring our most loved student who now becomes a teacher, Varun Dhawan and our heart’s dhadak every time we see her on screen, Jahnvi Kapoor, this love story, directed by the visionary Nitesh Tiwari, promises to be an unparalleled storytelling experience.

    Bawaal isn’t just another love story; it’s an imperfect one, laden with complexities, nuances, and raw emotions, but it is a testament to the beautiful chaos of love where imperfections become the threads that bind hearts together. Set against the backdrop of real-life situations, the film delves deep into the intricacies of relationships, portraying love in its most genuine form – flawed yet beautiful, imperfect yet captivating.

    The film is about Ajay (Varun Dhawan), a self-serving, self-aggrandising man whose ‘image’ matters to him more than anything else and to that goal, he has created an impression built on lies and deception. When Nisha (Janhvi Kapoor) enters his life, he sees in her the ‘perfect wife’ for his ‘perfect’ life. But it turns out, Nisha has epilepsy, which reasons Ajay to not take her anywhere lest she has a seizure and embarrass him publicly. As the film unfolds, they both sort through their differences and misunderstandings and a space of comfort within each other.

    The film effortlessly blends emotions and comedy, making it a delightful watch for audiences of all ages. The screenplay is skillfully crafted, keeping the viewers engaged from start to finish. The movie also features a romantic chartbuster song Tumhe Kitna Pyaar Karte sung by Arijit Singh and Mithoon which has been an audience favorite.

    Varun Dhawan reflected,” Bawaal has been a transformative journey, urging me to stretch my limits as an actor and explore unfamiliar territories. Delving into the intricate layers of my character was a gratifying experience, revealing nuances I hadn’t explored before. The film unfolds as a mesmerizing rollercoaster of emotions, and I’m eagerly anticipating viewers to be captivated by the thrill and entertainment during the & Pictures premiere. This project marks a significant crescendo in my acting journey, and I hope the audience resonates with the intensity and excitement radiating from their screens.”

    Jahnvi Kapoor, the mesmerizing lead actress of Bawaal expressed, “Embarking on the intricate journey of portraying Nisha Dixit was both challenging and immensely fulfilling. It compelled me to delve into uncharted territories of my craft, and I’m appreciative of the opportunity to breathe life into this intriguing character. The narrative holds a special place in my heart, and the premiere of &pictures marks an incredible chance to unveil this gripping tale to an even broader audience, amplifying the excitement of the entire experience.”

    The visionary behind Bawaal, Nitesh Tiwari said,“Directing Bawaal was an incredibly fulfilling creative journey. Bringing this narrative to life, and now with & Pictures premiere, fills me with pride. I am eager for the audience to embark on the emotional rollercoaster it unfolds. Bawaal, featuring the exceptional talents of Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan, transcends the realms of a typical film; it’s a storytelling experience that resonates with the eccentricities of life. This cinematic venture is a labour of love, delving into the highs and lows of existence. Get ready to immerse yourself in the enchanting  Bawaal  magic, on & Pictures.”
