The official teaser of Chup: Revenge Of The Artist was dropped by the movie makers on Saturday. The R Balki movie is being described as an ‘ode’ to Guru Dutt, and its teaser was posted on the late filmmaker’s 58th death anniversary. The teaser showed the first glimpse of Dulquer Salmaan, Sunny Deol, and Shreya Dhanwanthary from the movie.
Dulquer Salmaan took to his Twitter handle to share the teaser, and penned, “You are an aspiration and inspiration to us all, here’s to you Guru Dutt ji! #ChupRevengeOfTheArtist.”
Shreya Dhanwanthary likewise posted the teaser, and penned, “Here’s to remembering Guru Dutt ji, the one who gave us the sweetest smelling Kaagaz Ke Phool #ChupRevengeOfTheArtist.” Amitabh Bachchan also posted the teaser on Twitter.
The teaser video began with Dulquer singing ‘happy birthday’ to the tune of Geeta Dutt’s song Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam from Guru Dutt’s 1959 movie Kaagaz Ke Phool. He sang the song as he cut newspapers to create flowers and afterward a bouquet out of them. He then presented his gift to Shreya, whose voice in the background said, “Guru Dutt ke birthday pe kaagaz ke phool. Kaagaz Ke Phool (the film) ko us waqt bahot criticise kiya tha na (Flowers made of paper on Guru Dutt’s birthday. Kaagaz Ke Phool was criticised a lot in after its release, right)?”
Sunny Deol likewise shows up in the teaser for a few seconds, before somebody shouts ‘chup’ (shut up). Four red stars show up on the screen, which bleeds on the movie’s title, while the original Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam begins playing.
