Raj Kundra, the renowned entrepreneur and husband of Bollywood sensation Shilpa Shetty, is all set to make his acting debut in the upcoming film "UT69." The much-anticipated trailer for UT69 has just been released, offering a gripping glimpse into Kundra's tumultuous life inside Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail.
Scheduled for release on November 3, the film chronicles Raj Kundra's journey and the challenges he faced while incarcerated due to his alleged involvement in a pornography case. The trailer opens with 'breaking news' of Kundra's arrest in 2021, thrusting him from the status of "Shilpa Shetty's husband" and a 'Bigg Boss contestant' into the harsh reality of life behind bars.
As the trailer unfolds, we witness Kundra's struggle to adapt to the constant ridicule from fellow inmates and law enforcement personnel. The stark portrayal of his life inside the jail is both riveting and thought-provoking. Kundra's character faces a stampede-like situation at one point, further emphasizing the harsh conditions of his confinement. However, it's not all bleak; the trailer also showcases the unexpected friendships he forms during his time in jail.
In July 2021, Raj Kundra found himself embroiled in controversy, accused of producing pornographic content. After two months, in September of the same year, he was granted bail. He faced legal action under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Indecent Representation of Women (Prevention) Act, and the Information Technology Act.
The makers of "UT69" have aptly described the film as a satirical take on the real-life incidents of Raj Kundra's days spent in Arthur Road Jail. For Kundra, this period was undoubtedly the most challenging of his life. The movie unfolds this pivotal chapter, grounded in the true story of the entrepreneur's tumultuous journey.
Earlier this month, Raj Kundra generated significant buzz by announcing the release date of "UT69" with a humorous video featuring filmmaker Farah Khan and stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui. At the time, rumors swirled about Farah Khan's involvement as the director of the project. However, during the trailer launch event in Mumbai, it was officially revealed that ad film director Shahnawaz Ali had taken the helm of the project.
"UT69" is a collaborative effort, backed by AA Films, produced by SVS Studios, and co-produced by THE BIGGER PICTURE FILMS. For Raj Kundra, this film is more than just a chance to venture into acting. In his own words, "This is more than just a movie for me! While it’s a closure of sorts, you will see through my eyes a story about survival, friendships, and relationships inside India’s most notoriously crowded infamous detention center, also known as Arthur Road Jail."
"UT69" promises to be a compelling and evocative cinematic experience, delving into the untold story of Raj Kundra's life within the confines of the Arthur Road Jail. With its November release just around the corner, audiences eagerly await the opportunity to witness the entrepreneur's tale of redemption and resilience on the silver screen.
