Lucky Baskhar’s teaser

In April this year, Dulquer released the film’s teaser giving an insight. Baskhar is a bored banker at the fictional Magadha Bank who’s tired of the monotony of waking up, getting dressed, beating traffic, and going to work, only to nod off there. He’s described as a ‘common, middle-class, Indian man’. Things change when he comes across a lot of money, making everyone wonder how he earned it. Meenakshi plays the woman he loves.
