The trailer of the streaming film ‘Kathal: A Jackfruit Mystery’ was released here on Thursday in the presence of its starcast — Sanya Malhotra, Rajpal Yadav and Anant Joshi.
Also present at the launch in Mumbai were the producers Ektaa Kapoor, Guneet Monga, Ruchikaa Kapoor and Achin Jain, director Yashowardhan Mishra, and screenplay writer Ashok Mishra.
The trailer opens with a pastiche of the famous scene of the 2005 film ‘Malamaal Weekly’, where Rajpal Yadav climbs the wall and eavesdrops on an ongoing dialogue. In the trailer, Rajpal Yadav, who essays a snoopy journalist, climbs over the wall of a crime scene only to be dealt in a quirky way by Sanya Malhotra’s cop.
