Manoj Bajpayee’s Jugnuma Trailer Out

Billed as a big-screen cinematic spectacle anchored in the world of magical realism drama, ‘Jugnuma’ has been directed by Raam Reddy, who shot to global glory with his National Award-winning Kannada debut ‘Thithi’.

“Jugnuma is a film for ages and that’s the reason all of us are supporting the film, so more and more audience watches it. When I reached out to Vetri, Lijo, Raj and Nag, they were more than happy to support it and present the trailer with us”, read the caption by Kashyap as the biggest Indian directors collaborated and shared the captivating trailer on Instagram.

With dialogue penned by Varun Grover, the film features a powerhouse ensemble cast, including Deepak Dobriyal, Priyanka Bose, and Tillotama Shome.

For Reddy, it was a surreal moment to have the trailer of his second feature directorial be launched by mavericks like Vetri Maaran (‘Visaranai’, ‘Asuran’), Lijo Jose Pellissery (‘Angamaly Diaries’, ‘Jallikattu’), Raj B. Shetty, who recently produced the Kannada blockbuster ‘So From So’ and Nag Ashwin (‘Kalki 2898 AD’, ‘Mahanati).

“For a filmmaker, moments like these feel almost unreal. To have some of the most visionary storytellers of our generation come together in support of ‘Jugnuma’ is both in humbling and deeply affirming. This film was born out of an intimate journey into magical realism – created from the heart and in a vacuum – and to see it embraced by such giants of Indian cinema makes me believe that cinema really is a dream worth fighting for.” Says Raam Reddy.

Set in the late 80s, ‘Jugnuma’ follows Dev (Bajpayee), who discovers mysteriously burnt trees in his sprawling estate of fruit orchards nestled in the Indian Himalayas. In spite of all efforts, more fires break out, leading him to see himself and his family for who they truly are.

After its stellar global film festival run, including premiering at Berlin International Film Festival, winning Best Film at Leeds International Film Festival and Special Jury Prize at Mami Mumbai Film Festival, ‘Jugnuma’ will get an India-wide release in cinemas by Flip Films on September 12.
