Fans have been eagerly awaiting its release Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s film Mr. and Mrs. Mahi. After months of hints about the film’s possible story, the makers recently released the much-awaited trailer. The sneak peek sent excitement into a fever pitch. However, many people wonder: Is Mr & Mrs Mahi based on a true story?
Mr & Mrs Mahi trailer teases plot details
The recently released trailer offers an interesting glimpse into the world of the upcoming film Mr & Mrs Mahi. Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao play a married couple whose shared passion for cricket unites them amid life’s challenges.
Rajkummar Rao’s character, Mr. Mahi, dreams of making it to the Indian national cricket team. However, when his ambitions are dashed, he finds solace in coaching his wife. Mrs. Mahi, played by Janhvi Kapoor, is a doctor who has a knack for sports. This imperfectly perfect partnership is the crux of the plot. Moreover, throughout the trailer, the on-screen chemistry between Janhvi and Rajkummar is palpable, taking viewers along in their characters’ journey full of personal and professional challenges.
According recent reports, the film draws inspiration from the life of Indian cricket icon Mahendra Singh Dhoni. After all, the title of the film itself contains his name, ‘Mahi’. Additionally, the trailer pays tribute to him, with the duo watching a Team India cricket match wearing jerseys bearing Dhoni’s iconic number 7. Moreover, the latest buzz is that there might be a cameo from the cricketer himself. Corroborating such claims, Janhvi Kapoor recently sported a set which bore the name Mahi.
The announcement of Mr & Mrs Mahi last year created a lot of excitement among fans. Karan Johar, one of the producers, took to social media share news, describing the film as “It’s all heart and more, making a magical ‘pitch-er perfect’ story.” Fans can watch the film at May 31, 2024.
