Murderbaad Trailer: This Whodunit Asks Just One Question, ‘Where Is The Guest?'
Murderbaad boasts a star-studded cast, featuring new talents Nakul Roshan Sahdev and Kanikka Kapur, along with Sharib Hashmi, Manish Chaudhari and others.
The trailer for the upcoming romantic thriller Murderbaad was released on Monday, July 7. Directed by Arnab Chatterjee in his debut Hindi feature, the film takes viewers to the peaceful and vibrant city of Jaipur. The trailer begins with a driver, Maqsood, introducing a guide, Jayesh, who is fluent in English, to a tour company for a group of NRIs visiting Rajasthan.
But what starts as a simple story of a guest, Isabella, slowly falling in love with the tour guide, takes a sinister turn when one of the guests, Shaili, goes missing from a grand palace in Rajasthan. Soon, the police jump into action and question everyone, including the other guests and the owner of the tour company. While the trailer hints that the driver might be behind the guest's disappearance, the case gets more and more twisted with every revelation.
The simple missing case soon unravels a web of dark secrets and long-buried truths of human psychology. The trailer teases with a gripping line that goes, 'where love and death collide,' pointing out that every character in the film harbours a hidden motive.
Arnab Chatterjee discussed his first Hindi feature film, revealing that he started working on Murderbaad five years back while he was still in college. In a statement, he said, 'It's inspired by the romance and thrill I grew up watching, but I wanted to set that mood in a distinctly rooted setting. At its core, it's about the stories people bury to protect their identity. I'm grateful to have had such a talented cast and crew bring this vision to life."
Murderbaad boasts a star-studded cast, featuring new talents Nakul Roshan Sahdev and Kanikka Kapur, along with industry veterans Sharib Hashmi, Manish Chaudhari, Amole Gupte, Aanjjan Srivastav and Vibha Chhibber, among others.
Sharib, who plays the role of the driver Maqsood, shared that Arnab left no stone unturned in 'bringing together a complete mix of fresh and extremely experienced members in the team." Expressing his joy in working with him and the entire cast, he added, 'I've enjoyed every day on set. The film is very unique in its own way, both in terms of story as well as the way it got made, with a 24-year-old (at the time of shooting) director-producer being at the top of it. I pray for all the luck to our film, and wish Arnab all the success that he deserves in future."
Murderbaad is written and directed by Arnab Chatterjee, who also produced it under his banner, ACjee Entertainment. The romantic thriller is set to lock horns with YRF's Saiyaara on July 18.

Dhanush Says Aanand L Rai Invested Own Money To Cast Him In Raanjhanaa: 'They Didn't Have Budget'
Last Updated: Dhanush reveals he nearly turned down Raanjhanaa due to budget issues, and shares how director Aanand L Rai personally backed him to play Kundan. Dhanush might be a big name in Tamil cinema, but back in 2013, when he was gearing up for his Bollywood debut with Raanjhanaa, things weren't exactly smooth sailing. In fact, he nearly walked away from the film altogether. The actor recently looked back on the film during a special fan screening celebrating its 12th anniversary. While Raanjhanaa became a cult favourite over the years, Dhanush admitted that he was close to saying no – and it all came down to the budget. 'At that time, they didn't have the right kind of budget for hiring me as the lead actor. But this man's (Aanand L Rai) passion was so strong that he just wanted me to play Kundan. He could have offered any actor this part and they would have happily come on board. After all, it's such a great part," Dhanush shared, as quoted in SCREEN. The part he's talking about – Kundan – was a lovestruck Varanasi boy whose obsession and heartbreak eventually pull him into the world of politics. According to him, director Aanand L Rai had to take a big risk to make it happen. 'He went against all odds. I don't know I am supposed to say this and I don't care! He invested his own money as well. He went all out (to cast me). He saw Kundan in me and he stayed true to his vision," Dhanush said. Even for a seasoned performer like Dhanush, the pressure was real. He revealed that stepping into the Hindi film world brought a kind of fear he hadn't experienced before. 'I was not scared during my first film. When I was written off, I was not scared. That's how I am. But for the first time, I was scared. I felt responsible. So, I was praying so hard to God that 'Somehow save this man,'" he said, reflecting on the weight of expectations. In the end, the gamble paid off. Raanjhanaa clicked with audiences and critics alike. 'They made a cult classic. It is not the story of Kundan and Zoya. It is the story of two mad men who believed in this," Dhanush added. The film also starred Sonam Kapoor, Abhay Deol, Swara Bhaskar and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and became a defining moment in Aanand L Rai's directorial career. Since Raanjhanaa, Dhanush and Aanand L Rai have teamed up again, including in the 2021 film Atrangi Re, and are working together on Tere Ishq Mein – a film Rai has said is set in 'the same world as Raanjhanaa."

Telugu has collected Rs 1.67 crore so far, with the early days contributing the bulk. Tamil fared similarly with Rs 1.84 crore net, where the peak was mostly during the first weekend. The Hindi version has pulled in Rs 9.65 crore so far, thanks to support from Hindi-speaking metros and decent Sunday traction during the first two weekends. Although numbers started tapering off post Day 10, the Hindi audience has shown a steady trickle.
