Rajkummar Rao, Keerthy Suresh starrer Raftaar gets latest release date; film to reach in theatres in October
An Amazon MGM Studios Original, Raftaar is directed by Aditya Nimbalkar and produced by Patralekhaa under the banner of Kampa Film. The project has been executive produced by Tarun Bali, while the story and screenplay have been written by Rohan Narula. PVR INOX Pictures will distribute the film theatrically. Aside from Rajkummar Rao and Keerthy Suresh, the film also features Anurag Thakur, Rohan Verma, Tanya Maniktala, and Rajat Kapoor in key roles.
The film carries additional significance for Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa because it marks the start of their entrepreneurial journey as producers within the theatrical space. Announcing the brand new release date on social media, Rajkummar shared an emotional note concerning the film and its personal importance to the couple.
In his post, the actor wrote, “They are saying constructing a dream takes time, but living it takes much more hustle! RAFTAAR just isn’t just a movie, it’s our first step into the theatrical world, a labour of belief, grit and countless dreams. When something is that this personal and special, it deserves the time to grow into something truly memorable. That is why we are actually arriving, in cinemas, on 16 October for the prolonged Dussehra weekend. Once you see RAFTAAR, you won’t just watch a movie, you’ll recognise the hustle, the ambition, the fear and the hope that drive every dream. Thanks for being our strength. We’re almost there. हमारे सपनों की रफ़्तार (Our dreams’ speed) full on hai और (and) hustle भी (also)। Catch you on sixteenth October in Theatres.”
Set against the backdrop of India’s rapidly growing ed-tech sector, Raftaar explores the rise of a start-up and the extraordinary ambition driving its core characters. The story revolves around a determined man and an ambitious woman navigating success, greed, power, and relationships in a world where ethical boundaries often develop into blurred.
In accordance with the makers, the film goals to mix emotional drama with themes of ambition and modern entrepreneurial culture, while examining the non-public costs that usually accompany success. With the Dussehra holiday period expected to offer a powerful theatrical window, Raftaar is gearing up for a wide-screen release later this yr.
