Irrfan Khan's Blackmail has already intrigued us with its quirky premise and the interesting trailers. The black comedy is directed by Abhinay Deo and also stars Kirti Kulhari, Arunoday Singh and Divya Dutta. It is about a husband who returns home early to find his wife in bed with her lover. However, instead of confronting them over this, he decides to blackmail them over their secret for money. However, this ploy doesn't work the way he wants and he lands in a series of bigger messes, including being blackmailed himself.

The makers of Blackmail, producer Bhushan Kumar of T-series and Abhinay Deo, had arranged for a special screening of the movie, for the Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan. This was as per Irrfan Khan's desire to show the movie first to his senior co-star from Piku. Irrfan Khan is currently abroad getting treated for neuroendocrine tumour and will not be here when the movie hits the screen this week.

Coming back to what happened when Big B was shown the movie, you will be glad to hear that Amitabh Bachchan has loved the movie and he has taken to Twitter to show his appreciation for the same. He had written, "Saw a delightful film today .. "BLACKMAIL" ..https://t.co/e79YFffALp .. a brilliant screenplay, unique story, exemplary performances and great presentation and editing ..Actors excel from Irfan Khan to some fresh new faces .. so happy to see such creativity .. !!" That's some huge praise, coming from Mr Bachchan and it has only added to our interest in watching this movie coming Friday.

Produced by T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar and RDP Motion Pictures’ Abhinay Deo, ‘Blackmail’, directed by Abhinay Deo, is slated to release on April 6, 2018.
