It’s been a month since the cinemas have reopened but they’re still running on a 50% capacity considering the rise in Covid-19 cases. The filmmakers, despite the cinemas reopening, have been opting for OTT releases to avoid losses. The latest one to join the list is Arjun Kapoor, Rakul Preet and Neena Gupta starrer Sardar Ka Grandson which will premiere this summer exclusively on Netflix.
Also starring Aditi Rao Hydari, John Abraham, Soni Razdan, Kanwaljit Singh, Kumud Mishra and Divya Seth, the film will feature the journey of a US-return grandson who will go to any length to fulfil his grandmother’s last wish.
Sardar, played by Neena, is a fun-loving matriarch of a large, warm family based in Punjab. Playing the role of the grandmother, Sardar, Neena on returning to Netflix said in a statement, “This is a heartwarming story filled with lots of emotions and laughter. It’s the perfect family watch as you embark on a journey with my grandson as he fights all odds to fulfill my last wish. This is the first time I am playing a character like this one and I am excited to see how the audience reacts to it!”
Arjun Kapoor on playing the role of the grandson said, “Working alongside such a talented ensemble cast was an enriching experience for me. We are hoping that the story will resonate with people across the globe with the raw & real emotions that it shows through a loving grandmother-son relationship.”
Sardar Ka Grandson is directed by Kaashvie Nair, written by Anuja Chauhan and is produced by Emmay Entertainment, John Abraham Entertainment and T-Series. Arjun shared a couple of pictures from the film on his Instagram handle and wrote, “Gather your parents and grandparents for this one, Sardar ka Grandson is coming soon to @netflix_in #SardarKaGrandson(sic).” To which his costar in the film Rakulpreet wrote, “Amreek is readyyyy.”
