Chhatriwali: The slice-of-life drama “Chhatriwali,” starring actors Rakul Preet Singh and Sumeet Vyas, will be released direct-to-digital on ZEE5 next year. Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar is the film’s director, while it has been produced by Ronnie Screwvala. The movie “Chhatriwali” aims to make a societal point about how important safe sex and male contraception are. The release date of the film was announced on the occasion of World Aids Day.
Chhatriwali aims to destigmatise the dialogue around safe sex
Rakul plays the part of the quality control manager of a condom manufacturer in the Haryana-set movie. The logline says, “Although she is first bashful and ashamed of her work, she quickly realises the necessity of safe sex and then takes it upon herself to destigmatise the dialogue around sex education.”
The protagonist of the story is an unemployed woman who, in certain situations, transforms into a condom tester. Sadly, it is a secret that can’t be made public all that quickly. Sharing a look poster of her character, she captioned, “Zamana badal raha hai toh humari soch bhi toh badalni chahiye!” With her current streak of success, only time will tell how this film too reaps results.
What Rakul Preet said
“This World Aids Day, I join the fight against HIV by raising awareness on the importance of safe sex and the use of male contraceptives via my upcoming film, Chhatriwali,” the actor said in a statement.
Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 India said they are excited to bring forth a film which deals with a taboo subject of sex education in a progressive and an entertaining manner. “The film delivers a punch about the importance of sex education with humour and sensitivity. With a mix of social message, strong woman character, comedy, subtlety, and lots of drama, Chhatriwali is sure to entertain and educate our audience,” he added.
