Chehre, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi, was hit the big screens today. Rumi Jaffry directed the film, which is a mystery thriller. The two stars are pitted against one another in a game of justice and retribution in the film. The trailer has certainly piqued the interest of fans. Since the initial poster was released, the film has gotten a lot of attention because Rhea Chakraborty was missing from the Chehre posters. And now, following the film’s release, director Rumi has spoken out about Rhea’s absence from the Chehre posters.
Speaking about the same, the director said to Outlook, “She is there in the trailer, and she is very much there in the film. It is her bad luck that she has got trapped in a controversy. She is not there in the poster I admit, but Siddhant Kapoor is also not there in the poster, but nobody said anything about that. Had we shown Rhea on the poster, then also people would have said that by showing her we want publicity for the film.”
Further, Rumi added that it was planned earlier, even before the actress got into the controversies. He said, “There was a promotion plan that was made much ahead of Rhea Chakraborty’s [earlier] controversy. The film was locked way before the pandemic. She plays a very important role in the film. So not a single frame of the film where she is there is cut or added. Her performance is brilliant in the film. This is going to be one of her major projects”.
In the meantime, this will be the first time that Emraan Hashmi and Amitabh Bachchan have collaborated on a film. The film will include their first-ever face-off, which has piqued the interest of the viewers. The other stars that features in the film Chehre are Annu Kapoor, Krystle D’Souza, Rhea Chakraborty, Dhritiman Chatterjee, Raghubir Yadav and Siddhanth Kapoor.
