The trailer of the Pankaj Tripathi-starrer Kadak Singh was launched at the opening ceremony of the 54th International Film Festival of India, Goa. Directed by National Award-winning director, Aniruddha Roy Chowdhary (Tony Da), Kadak Singh also stars Parvathy Thiruvothu, Bangladeshi actor, Jaya Ahsan and Sanjana Sanghi, among others. The movie is set to premiere on ZEE5 on December 8.
Pankaj Tripathi said about his role, “Kadak Singh is unlike anything I have played before. He is an unusual character, and it was such joy portraying such a layered personality. Additionally, I got to work with some incredible talent including Tony Da, Parvathy, Jaya and the young and enthusiastic ones like Sanjana. Everyone’s combined energy and passion really transformed the film from the pages to the screen.”
The film follows the life of AK Shrivastav aka Kadak Singh, a Joint Director at the Department of Financial Crimes, who is currently battling retrograde amnesia. The film unfolds as AK is admitted in the hospital and is presented with conflicting narratives about his past, compelling him to discern fact from fiction. Amidst the maze of half-baked memories, he is determined to uncover the truth behind his hospitalization and a major financial crime, while saving his family from falling apart. It is also the story of a dysfunctional family and how they come closer due to a series of unforeseen events.
“It’s not often that every aspect of a movie making experience hits a 10/10 mark. Kadak Singh has been that rare phenomenon for me. From getting to create a character guided by Tony da and sharing screen space with none other than Pankaj ji, to witnessing brilliance in Sanjana Sanghi, Paresh Pahuja and Jaya Ahsan and being so perfectly supported by each departmental crew on set and a nurturing production team led by Viraf Sarkari that cheered us on non-stop, it was magical
to say the least. I feel in the times we are living in; we are in dire need of master storytellers guiding us to stay in touch with our humanity,” emphasized Malayalam actor Parvathy. Actor Sanjana Sanghi also added, “From the very first narration by Ritesh Shah of Kadak Singh, I was sure we were onto something special Its brilliant writing has been brought to life beautifully by Tony Da and the team at Wiz Films.”
