Sherdil Trailer of Pankaj Tripathi starrer Srijit Mukherji's Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga releases
Mumbai/IBNS: The trailer of Pankaj Tripathi starrer national award winning filmmaker Srijit Mukherji's upcoming film Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga was released Friday.
Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga, a dark humour laced satire, also stars Neeraj Kabi and Sayani Gupta in the lead.
Inspired by true events, Mukherji has brought forth an insightful story about the adverse effects of urbanization, man-animal conflict and poverty leading to a bizarre practice in a village that resides on the edge of a forest.
The trailer interestingly portrays the story of Gangaram, played by Tripathi.
Gangaram adopts the infamous tiger practice and is willing to give up his life so that the families of his village will benefit from the government scheme money which is promised to the family of any tiger attack victim..
One fine day, he enters the forest and waits for his death. There he meets Jim, played by Neeraj Kabi, who is a poacher and what follows next is a series of unprecedented and interesting events.
Happy to present the trailer, Mukherji says, "Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga has been a dream project for years. After I read about the real life incidents in 2017, I immediately wrote the story and registered it and was wanting to make it for the longest time.
"So finally after 5 years the dream comes true and we bring you the story of Gangaram on the big screen"
The film, which is produced by Reliance Entertainment, is slated for Jun 24 release.
