Trial By Fire actress Rajshri Deshpande’s Rooplai is a Mumbai Police surveillance expert obsessed with keeping a watchful eye on others in the recently released trailer of filmmaker Sudeep Kanwal’s upcoming social thriller film Privacy.
The one-minute-10-second-long trailer, released by BritFlicks, introduces Rajshri as an operator at Mumbai Police’s surveillance command and control centre. In a voiceover, she says that CCTV cameras have taken away the privacy of people, while criminals are still finding new ways to commit crimes. She is seen obsessively keeping a watchful eye on several individuals.
The teaser of the film looks compelling and promises an intriguing watch. It gives a chilling insight into how surveillance cameras capture more than just public spaces.
“Peep out! The teaser of Privacy is here! Now you know - why to keep those curtains closed 👀 Privacy is all set for its World premiere at @bifanofficial in a few days,” Rajshri wrote, sharing the trailer on Instagram.
“Playing Roopali felt like an emotional roller coaster. Sudeep and I discussed that we wanted to keep the performance nuanced. The film is very visual, with little dialogue. There are many subtle elements in the film which the viewer can only catch if they are watching closely. Just like Roopali,” the actress said.
Speaking about the film, director Sudeep Kanwal said, “Rather than making a techno noir, I wanted to keep the look and feel of Privacy realistic. I wanted to focus on the character rather than the technology. From the control room design and makeup to costumes, we decided to keep everything very grounded. We shot at real locations as much as possible. The actors spent time with real people who shared similar lifestyles and professions as their characters.”
Privacy is produced by the Fundamental Picture’s Navin Shetty and Shlok Sharma, in association with House of Talent Studio. The film also features Nishank Verma, Sandesh Kulkarni, Abhilash Thapliyal, Saurabh Goyal, Chhaya Kadam, Rushad Rana and Sagar Salunke in pivotal roles.
Privacy is set for its world premiere at the 27th edition of the Bucheon International Film Festival (BiFan), Asia’s largest genre cinema event, on June 30.
