Irrfan Khan is one of those Bollywood actors whose movies are awaited by almost everyone. The actor has managed to make such a mark in the industry that even our parents love his performances and are always eager to watch his next project. And with his upcoming film ‘Blackमेल’, the trend is here to stay.
Irrfan is well known for his sarcastic and quick-witted attitude. So when we got to know that his upcoming film is going to be a comedy, we couldn’t contain our excitement.
We got our first look at the movie with this weird AF poster, which shows Irrfan wearing a paper bag with eye cut-outs over his head:

Those paper bags definitely caught our attention and we were left wondering as to what are all the characters so ashamed of? Luckily we got our answers today.
First things first, the trailer is chaotic AF and takes on the subject of infidelity in the most comical way.
We see Irrfan on his way home to surprise his wife but unfortunately, he is the one who is surprised out of his wits: He catches his wife in bed with someone else.

The first thought that would come to anyone’s sane mind would be to confront both of them but Irrfan’s insane character, Dev, decides to go a different way. No points for guessing that he decided to ‘blackmail’ his wife’s boyfriend.

What follows is a tale full of chaos and a vicious cycle of blackmail, where Irrfan finds himself caught in his own web. And honestly, we have never seen Irrfan so confused and bewildered.
