Teaser of Chup releases on Saturday
Mumbai: Dulquer Salmaan shared the teaser of his upcoming film, Chup: Revenge of The Artist, on Saturday, July 09, 2022. The film was announced on the death anniversary of Guru Dutt on October 10, 2021.
The teaser shows Salmaan cutting newspapers and making a bouquet. As Dulquer sings Happy Birthday to the tune of the song Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam, one can deduce that the teaser is an ode to Guru Dutt’s 1959 film Kaagaz Ke Phool.
He offers the bouquet to Shreya Dhanwanthary, who talks about the criticism film Kaagaz Ke Phool had faced. Actor Sunny Deol also makes an intense appearance towards the end of the teaser.
Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam is an iconic track sung by Geeta Dutt in the 1959 film.
Directed by R Balki, the psychological thriller is a tribute to Hindi cinema icon Guru Dutt, who is remembered for his cinematic artistry during the 1950s and the ’60s.
Salmaan took to Twitter and shared the teaser with a caption that read, “You are an aspiration and inspiration to us all, here’s to you Guru Dutt ji!”
The teaser received a shoutout from several celebrities including Amitabh Bachchan and Vidya Balan.
