The first trailer of Kunal Roy Kapur’s Marudhar Express came online Wednesday afternoon. The movie is about a young couple who had an arranged marriage and face the immediate family pressure of having a child.

Directed by Vishal Mishra, Marudhar Express is a rom-com film that also stars Tara Alisha Berry. The story is set in Lucknow and showcases a small-town love story. Kunal plays an innocent man who has not had any interaction with women and has to deal with an arranged marriage as his father insists he must get married.

How he deals with the entire situation and how the wife - Tara - treats him unfolds in a hilarious way in the trailer. While Kunal plays a reluctant, shy guy, Tara is quite the opposite. The couple struggles as Kunal is a novice at sex and Tara is all game for experiment. The involvement of Kunal’s friends and father makes it a fun watch.

Kunal was last seen in Hotel Milan and the web series Love Per Square Feet. Tara, on the other hand, worked in Love Games and The Perfect Girl.

Vishal Mishra has earlier directed Sunil Grover’s Coffee with D. “I am a huge fan of Hrishikesh Mukherjee and his slice-of-life films. This film is truly inspired by his style of filmmaking. A fair share of the credit also goes to our producer Raj Kushwaha for his unconditional support,” Vishal had earlier said about the film in a statement.

The film is slated to hit theatres on October 26. It was originally scheduled to release in 2018.
