If you are one of the early lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you perceive the movie) viewers of Kedarnath, you will be surprised by the first teaser of Sonchiriya that has been added in previews. The movie marks the return of the dacoit saga that used to be a staple of Bollywood cinema in the '70s and the '80s. What's special about is not just the fresh pairing of Sushant Singh Rajput and Bhumi Pednekar, but also that it is directed by Abhishek Chaubey of Ishqiya and Udta Punjab fame. The man surely knows how to balance gritty drama with dark humour. Son Chiriya Poster: Sushant Singh Rajput – Bhumi Pednekar’s Crime Drama to Release on 8th February 2019.

Sonchiriya is based on the lives of dacoits in the Chambal ravines. The teaser showcases a band of dacoits, who terrorise one village after another, till one of them turns rogue. The teaser acts as more of an intro for all its main characters including Sushant, Bhumi, Manoj Bajpayee, Ranvir Shorey and Ashutosh Rana. Sushant Singh Rajput's First Look From Son Chiriya is Messy, Rustic and Unbelievable!

Here's the teaser of Son Chiriya here -

Earlier while talking about shooting the film in real locations in Chambal, Sushant had this to say, "Shooting for Abhishek Chaubey’s film is on full swing. I came here in Chambal early to do a bit of warm-up for the film. Visiting ravines, talking to locals, working on dialect and inflection and a bit of cut-off from everything before the shoot helps keep the right things in perspective." Sonchiriya will release in February 2019.
