‘Kaagaz’ Trailer: ‘Dead man’ Pankaj Tripathi struggles to prove his existence

Stories that are based in rural India are not only amazing but sometimes even unheard of. Pankaj Tripathi’s upcoming film ‘Kaagaz’ based on a man who is officially declared dead. The film chronicles the journey of this ‘dead man’ and how he struggles to prove his existence.

The makers of this biographical drama have unveiled its trailer today which is part funny and part sad.

In the trailer, we see how a common man Bharat Lal- played by the one and only Pankaj Tripathi- is declared dead on government papers. The poor man’s struggle to reclaim his identity begins and his life is changed overnight.

Pankaj is seen running pillars to post to get the government’s record changed but no one helps him. From requesting help from Panchayat to hiring a lawyer, he does everything in his power to prove his existence. The film chronicles the journey of this helpless common man and his fight against the system.

Sharing trailer of ‘Kaagaz’, Pankaj took to his social media handle and wrote, “#ProofHaiKya ki tum zinda ho? Yeh sawaal ne kiya bawaal Bharat Lal Mritak ki zindagi mein. A true success story of a dead man. #Kaagaz premieres 7th January 2021 on @zee5premium and simultaneously in selected theatres in UP.”
