A still from the film. (courtesy: HrithikRoshan ) Hrithik Roshan has a shout-out to his acting coach Vinod Rawat for his upcoming film Pushtaini. The actor has also shared the trailer on Instagram.
Pushtaini marks Rawat's directorial debut. The trailer tells the story of a struggling actor, Bhuppi, who finds himself in a difficult situation when someone with a private video of him starts blackmailing him for money. Bhuppi, having no money, decides to reach out to his estranged family for help.
When he contacts his sister, Bhuppi learns that their father has passed away and left everything to him. He then travels to his hometown, where his aunt refuses to sign the papers needed to access his father's assets. The trailer shows glimpses of Bhuppi gradually trying to understand his father's circumstances, who died by suicide.
In his elaborate caption, Hrithik Roshan spoke about the challenges Vinod Rawat faced while making the film. He wrote, When Vinod Rawat first spoke to me of “PUSHTAINI” I couldn't quite imagine or visualise the film. I remember thinking this is a great germ of an idea but it seemed absurd to me that he would give up everything and put all his finances into executing it.
” Hrithik Roshan continued, “We were in the middle of the lockdown, Vinod told me he'd be shooting the project in his native Uttarakhand, that he would also be directing and acting in the film and as he had little to no funds, his family would be playing all the other characters, I was.
