Kaagaz has quickly become one of the most awaited films in the OTT space. The Pankaj Tripathi headlined film is slated to release on ZEE5 on 7th January. It is being said that Pankaj Tripathi has put in a stupendous performance in the film. And the cherry on the cake is the surprise inclusion of Salman Khan in the cast of Kaagaz. The A-list Bollywood star has come on board the film as the primary narrator of the film. He will deliver the voice-over at the beginning of the film and at the end. It is a first for Salman Khan – he’s never given the voice-over for any film before. Isn’t that exciting!
Kaagaz is a biographical film, which has been written and directed by Satish Kaushik. Salman Khan is already on board the film as producer, under his banner Salman Khan Films. Satish Kaushik is co-producer of Kaagaz under his banner The Satish Kaushik Entertainment Production. Monal Gajjar plays the female lead alongside Pankaj Tripathi, while yesteryears’ TV star Amar Upadhyay plays the main antagonist in the film.
Kaagaz has an intriguing premise at its core. It tells the travails of Lal Bihari, a small farmer from a tiny village in Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh, India, who was declared dead on official papers. Lal Bihari finds that it is an insurmountable task to prove himself alive. The officials trust a piece of paper more than the living breathing man before them, begging to be declared alive and kicking. Hence the title of the film, ‘Kaagaz’.
Kaagaz premieres on ZEE5 tomorrow, 7th January. Watch out for Salman Khan’s voice-over, folks!
