Prime Video recently launched the trailer of its highly anticipated romantic film ‘Bawaal’, as a prelude to the global premiere of the film at a grand event held aboard the magnificent Queen Elizabeth II in Dubai.
Directed by 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. ‘Bawaal’ will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in India and across 200 countries and territories worldwide on July 21.
The film revolves around Ajay Dixit, an ordinary albeit popular high school history teacher, 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.
Manish Menghani, Director of Content Licensing, Prime Video India, said: “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.”

Sajid Nadiadwala said: “‘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.”
Director Nitesh Tiwari added: “Great love stories deserve to be experienced and they always find a medium to reach an audience. Over the years, some of these stories have become true epics, not because of a grandiose scale but because of the heart-stringing, gut-wrenching essence that makes the audience feel every emotion.
“‘Bawaal’ is an Indian film which will appeal to audiences across the world. It will make you feel the jitters of nervousness, the joy of togetherness, the pain of separation, and so much more. Varun and Janhvi have brilliantly portrayed the roles of Ajju and Nisha, taking you on a journey from small-town India to Europe, that will leave an indelible mark on your hearts and mind.”

“A definitive landmark in my career, ‘Bawaal’ has been a challenging journey for me, but it has also been one of the most exciting and an extremely rewarding one too. Despite his popularity, Ajju is constantly warring with circumstances beyond his control. A character so intricately woven but literally a bawaal (commotion) within and all around, that it will hold a special place in my heart. I just cannot wait for the audience from all across the globe to watch and experience this unconventionally beautiful romantic tale of Ajju and Nisha. Dubai is like a second home to me, and I couldn’t think of a better place to kickstart promotions for this global film with an Indian heart,” said Varun Dhawan.
His co-star Janhvi Kapoor said: “As actors we play roles that are either made for us, or ones that we adapt to. But rarely do we get the opportunity to embody a role so coveted that offers an actor more scope to perform.
