Mumbai: Khoonkhar is all set to premiere on Zee Cinema, on Saturday, 7th July at 9pm. Directed by Boyapati Sreenu , Khoonkhar (Jaya Janaki Nayaka) has an ensemble cast including the Bellamkonda Sreenivas, RakulPreet Singh and PragyaJaiswal in lead roles along with Jagapathi Babu and Sarath Kumar essaying pivotal roles. The story revolves around the extents to which a man can go to win over his love.
Coupled with a strong narrative and story line, the movie boasts of rich visuals, well-choreographed dance numbers and stunts. Sreenivas’ portrayal in two different shades; one as a lover and another one as a person who seeks revenge, has won him nominations in the Best Actor category at several award shows.
Boyapati said, “The movie has something to offer everyone. Every couple will learn from the lead pai that true love is about sticking together, whatever the circumstances. Every daughter will identify with Rakul Preet and relate to her independence and how she places her family over everything else. It also makes you think about repression of women in society and that every woman has the right to a life of dignity. Similarly, every sister will empathise with Vani’s character and her love for her brother. And Falguni will resonate with all the rebels who like to live life on their own terms,”
The movie revolves around Gagan (Sreenivas) a happy-go-lucky guy, who has grown up in a house that doesn’t have a mother figure. Raised by his father Chakravarthy (Sarath Kumar) and elder brother, the respect the trio hold for a woman is remarkable. The family takes to the streets with sticks and guns to bring to task those who harass women. During a similar instance Gagan falls in love with Sweety (Rakul Preet) when he recuses her from being harassed by a classmate. Sweety’s father (Jayaprakash) disapproves of the alliance because of his standing in society and orders her to forget Gagan and marry the son of the influential industrialist Ashwith Narayana (Jagapathi Babu). Sweety obeys her father’s instructions and asks Gagan to forget her and never contact her again. Years later, as fate would have it; Gagan runs into Sweety and rescues her and her family from an attack.
