Double entendres, scandalous reality shows and a brutal murder dominate the first teaser video of Dibakar Banerjee’s Love Sex Aur Dhoka 2, a sequel to his 2010 crime thriller of the same name.
Dropped by production house Balaji Motion Pictures on Monday, the two-minute-13-second-long teaser features Tusshar Kapoor, Anu Malik, Mouni Roy, Sophie Choudry, Bonita Rajpurohit, Paritosh, Abhinav Singh and Swastika Mukherjee in key roles. Social media influencer Uorfi Javed also makes a cameo appearance.
Beginning with a piercing shriek, the teaser delves into the challenges faced by transgenders and shows an on-screen kiss during a live reality show judged by Anu Malik, Tusshar Kapoor and Sophie Choudry. With visuals like a contestant slapping his mother amidst insane pressure and insinuating remarks made by one of the judges, the video splits open the dark underbelly of TRP-driven reality shows.
Shifting to the unconventional lives of Gen Z influencers, the teaser takes a grim turn with glimpses of a mutilated corpse. Murder, a leaked MMS and new-age toxicity, all usher in the primary themes of love, sex, and deceit by the time the teaser ends with the reality show contestants on stage with Anu Malik.
Produced by Shobha Kapoor and Ektaa R Kapoor, Love Sex Aur Dhoka 2 is scheduled to release theatrically on April 19.
