The long-awaited trailer of Kangana Ranaut’s Dhaakad was released on Friday and the actress managed to stun fans with her fiery avatar. Kangana plays a spy named Agent Agni and promises to set the screens on fire with her action-packed avatar.
In the trailer, Kangana’s agent Agni is seen taking orders from her “ringmaster”. Agni is portrayed as the perfect killing machine. She is soon hired to work on India’s largest human trafficking case, operated from the coal mines. And then Arjun Rampal shows up in his desi villain avatar. The next minute or so gives a glimpse of Kangana changing her appearance like a chameleon while trying to solve the case. There’s also a secret that brings tears to the otherwise “dhaakad” spy.
Speaking of Dhaakad, Kangana Ranaut said in a statement: “It has been a longstanding dream of mine to take on challenging roles and be a part of films that change the norm. Dhaakad is one such film. I enjoyed playing Agent Agni who will stop at nothing. Dhaakad is a genre-defining film and we worked very hard to create something that lives up to the dream we envisioned. A force of nature, Agent Agni embodies the strength within us, and the film celebrates courage and power.”
“Dhaakad is my first film and will always be close to my heart. Kangana is the new brooding action hero. Your understanding of the script is simply outstanding. She has mastered all the intricately choreographed action sequences with perfection. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and see her effortlessly handle this demanding role. She is an acting powerhouse. Arjun, my brother, brought invaluable experience to Rudhraveer’s role. His character vibrates with an infectious energy that only an actor of his caliber could have brought to the table. He has also raised the bar for Dhaakad with his looks and style that will turn heads. Divya’s commanding performance is remarkable. Penetrating the character’s skin, she nailed every detail—the accent, the slang, the body language, to truly transform. She is an absolute banger in this film,” added director Razneesh Razy Ghai.
Alongside Kangana Ranaut, Dhaakad also stars Arjun Rampal, Saswata Chatterjee and Divya Dutta in key roles. It hits theaters on May 20th.
