Mumbai, June 21 (NationPress) The trailer for the forthcoming film ‘Kaalidhar Laapata’, featuring Abhishek Bachchan, was released on Saturday. This film is described as a touching dramedy that delves into themes of life, loss, laughter, and the liberating essence of unforeseen companionship.
Abhishek Bachchan plays the role of Kaalidhar, a middle-aged individual battling memory loss, feelings of abandonment, and a lifetime filled with subtle betrayals. Upon overhearing a cruel plot by his siblings to leave him at the bustling Maha Kumbh Mela, Kaalidhar resolves to take matters into his own hands and disappear on his own terms. A chance encounter unfolds into something much deeper. The film also features Zeeshan Ayyub and Daivik Bhagela in significant roles.
Speaking about the film, Abhishek Bachchan expressed, “As performers, we often yearn for narratives that resonate with us before they touch anyone else, and ‘Kaalidhar Laapata’ accomplished just that. Portraying Kaalidhar was more than just acting; it was a revelation. He embodies fragility, innocence, and profound humanity, allowing me to explore parts of myself that had long been untouched. His relationship with Ballu, this fearless child, serves as a reminder that the most unlikely friendships can impart the most meaningful lessons.”
He continued, “Above all, it prompted me to ponder how we gauge life—not by years, but through moments of connection, bravery, and authenticity. ‘Kaalidhar Laapata’ stands as another proud chapter in my journey. In recent years, I’ve actively sought stories rich in emotional depth, sincerity, and significance—and this one checked every box. It’s a narrative that resonated deeply with my soul, and I hope it resonates with yours as well.”
Set against the raw, rustic backdrop of India’s heartland, the film celebrates second chances and the quiet revolution of discovering joy in unexpected places. It explores themes of familial neglect, freedom, and the innate human desire to be understood without judgment.
Produced by Zee Studios and Emmay Entertainment, and directed by Madhumita, ‘Kaalidhar Laapata’ is slated to premiere on ZEE5 on July 4, 2025.
