Bachchhan Paandey Trailer Talk: Akshay Kumar As Gangster, Godfather And… Actor?

Akshay Kumar stars as the titular character, Bachchhan Pandey, a dreadful gangster from the small town of Baghwa. When he stumbles upon an aspiring director, Myra (Kriti Sanon), wanting to make a biopic on his life, he is instantly hooked to the prospect. He starts narrating his story, alongside his sidekicks, while Myra, who tries to find a silver lining in his otherwise fearful personality, finds none, finding more frightful truths instead. There begins a sequence of events that could lead to a potential disaster… or a superhit.

The trailer ends with Paandey saying that he's not a bhai, he's a Godfather.

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film has been directed by Farhad Samji (Housefull 4) and co-written by Samji and Nischay Kuttanda. Starring Kumar, Sanon, Arshad Warsi and Jacqueline Fernandez, among others, the film releases theatrically on March 18.
