Manish Menghani, Director of Content Licensing, Prime Video India:

“Bawaal is an exceptional film, that is truly meant for the global stage, and we’re taking it to an audience that spans across the globe by launching the trailer here in Dubai today, and premiering the film in over 200 countries and territories on July 21. At Prime Video, we’re constantly looking for stories that push boundaries and scale new heights in our endeavor to satiate the entertainment needs of our customers.

“We do not stop at just that, offering high quality narratives from exceptional storytellers such as Nitesh Tiwari is at the heart of our content offering and is evident through our successful collaboration with Sajid Nadiadwala to bring an enthralling film like Bawaal to our customers. We’re excited to see how many more milestones this film helps us cross when it premieres on Prime Video.”

The cast and creators of the film were in the capital city to commence the international publicity for the timeless love story. Directed by the much acclaimed, visionary – Nitesh Tiwari, and starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, Bawaal is a timeless love story by Sajid Nadiadwala’s production banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment in collaboration with Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari and Nitesh Tiwari’s Earthsky Pictures.

Filmed extensively in Europe, Bawaal tells the story of Ajay Dixit (Varun Dhawan), a history teacher with a penchant for grandiosity, who embarks on a journey to salvage his image through an audacious expedition of World War 2 landmarks across Europe.

Bawaal revolves around Ajay Dixit, an ordinary albeit popular high school history teacher Ajay Dixit, also known as Ajju bhaiya, who enjoys mini celebrityhood in his town, courtesy the fake image he has built about himself. Circumstances compel him to embark on a World War II trail in Europe, and he is forced to take along his newly-wed wife Nisha, with whom he shares a strained relationship.

What follows is a series of events that test his marriage and force him to confront the biggest war of them all- the war within. Shot in India and multiple international locales, this love story has a meaningful message, which is sure to resonate with audiences worldwide.

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala,

“Bawaal is a story that will be regarded as an epic in the time to come, and it truly deserves to be watched and enjoyed by audiences all over the world. Partnering with Prime Video to premiere the film in over 200 countries and territories, and now launching the trailer in the magnificent city of Dubai, is a testament to our ambition of reaching a global audience. We’re thrilled to be here in Dubai today, and can’t wait to see the world fall in love with Bawaal, when it premieres on Prime Video on 21 July.”

Bawaal will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in India and across 200 countries and territories worldwide on 21 July.
