Set in the enchanting realm of ‘Gulabganj’, this series is poised to whisk viewers away on a time-traveling adventure, paying homage to the glorious era of 80s and 90s Bollywood masala films.
As the show’s release approaches, Rajkummar Rao took a moment to chat with sharing insights into the significance of this venture and reflecting on the shifting tides of cinematic experience.

A Difficult Path to Theatrical Triumph
Rajkummar Rao candidly acknowledged the uphill task of coaxing the Indian audience back into the warm embrace of theaters. He took a moment to extend his heartfelt congratulations and admiration to the seasoned actor Sunny Deol for his recent blockbuster, ‘Gadar 2’.

Nostalgia Unveiled: Rajkummar’s Perspective on Cinematic Magic
With a twinkle in his eye, Rajkummar Rao reminisced about his formative years and the enchantment that accompanied a visit to the silver screen. He shared, “We were entranced by these tales; there’s no doubt that our hearts beat in rhythm with the magic of cinema.
Heading to the cinema was akin to participating in a grand festival. Trailers were non-existent; it was as simple as a film announcement, and our entire family would gather to partake in the experience. That sense of awe is somewhat missing now, the enchantment of cinema—something we should strive to reclaim.”
He continued, “Post-pandemic and even during the pandemic, people gravitated towards the convenience of home entertainment. However, the tides are turning, and a significant number are making their way back to theaters. This resurgence is indeed a heartening sign.”
