Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has shared the trailer of his upcoming film "Rustom" and it looks quite intriguing. After "Housefull 3," the "Khiladi" actor is back with a serious movie, which will remind you of his brilliant performance in "Airlift."
In the "Rustom" trailer, Akshay's character is a navy officer, named Naval Commander Rustom Pavri, who is seen shooting his wife's lover. The person who is killed is a well known personality and his murder leads to the officer's arrest. However, things become interesting when the people support the officer as he is known for his good deeds and patriotism. The video also hinted that there is a mystery behind Akshay's character going to jail.
Akshay will be seen in a serious role and after watching the trailer, fans will be curious to see him on the big screen. The leading actresses of the movie are Ileana D'Cruz, who plays Akshay's wife, and Esha Gupta who will appear as the sister of the character who was murdered.
Set in 1959 Bombay, the Tinu Desai directorial is inspired from a true incident as it is loosely based on the infamous Nanavati case. The trailer video said: "A sensational case of a naval officer led to the end of the jury system in India."
