The highly-anticipated film “Bawaal,” directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring the talented duo Varun Dhawan (known for “Bhediya”) and Janhvi Kapoor (famed for “Mili”), is set to make its grand debut exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, as confirmed by the streaming giant.
The romantic film is brought to life under the production umbrella of Sajid Nadiadwala’s Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment in collaboration with Earthsky Pictures, led by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari and Nitesh Tiwari.
It’s worth noting that Tiwari’s “Dangal” (2016) remains the record as the highest-grossing Indian film ever, raking in an impressive $247 million.
Manish Menghani, who heads content licensing at Prime Video in India, expressed immense excitement at the global release of “Bawaal”. He stated, “We are over the moon to have the opportunity to present ‘Bawaal’, a masterpiece by one of India’s most esteemed directors, Nitesh Tiwari, to a global audience across more than 200 countries. ‘Bawaal’ weaves an exceptional tale that resonates globally, bolstered by stellar performances from Varun and Janhvi. Rooted in the Indian heartland, the film’s riveting narrative takes the audience on an unprecedented journey through Europe. We firmly believe that a film with such deep Indian roots yet broad international appeal merits a worldwide audience, not just in India but across the globe.”
Nadiadwala added: “’Bawaal’ is a very special film for me, and one of my most ambitious projects. It has been an absolute joy to produce this film which has been directed by my most loved filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari with Varun and Jahnvi giving their very best, in their first film together. This story deserves a grand worldwide premiere.”
Tiwari said: “Shot across three Indian locations and five European countries, ‘Bawaal’ has a captivating storyline, dramatic visuals and absolutely amazing chemistry between the lead talent Varun and Jahnvi. I believe that the worldwide premiere on Prime Video will help us take ‘Bawaal’ to audiences in India and across borders.”
The film will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in India and across 200 countries and territories worldwide in July.
