The recently released trailer provides a sneak peek into the film’s dark and gripping portrayal of Mumbai’s underbelly. Fardeen Khan stars as a resident of a slum, struggling through one of Mumbai’s toughest areas, while Riteish Deshmukh portrays a pilot leading a life of luxury. The plot thickens when a tragic explosion and the kidnapping of Riteish’s character’s son force their disparate lives to intersect. This entanglement sets off a series of dramatic events that could lead to a devastating conclusion.
Earlier this year, Fardeen Khan appeared alongside another Heyy Babyy co-star, Akshay Kumar, in Khel Khel Mein, directed by Mudassar Aziz. He also made a notable return with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar after a long break of 14 years. Riteish Deshmukh’s most recent project was the film Kakuda, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. He is also gearing up to both star in and direct Raja Shivaji, a historical drama based on the life of the Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji.
Visfot promises to be an intense and thrilling addition to both actors’ filmographies, offering a fresh take on Mumbai’s dark and dramatic side.
