New Delhi: Khuda Haafiz starring Vidyut Jammwal and Shivaleeja Oberoi in the lead has received a tremendous response on its First Day First Show digital premiere on Disney + Hotstar.
The actor who is mostly known for action and martial arts sequences in films like Force and Commando also showed off his softer side in Khuda Haafiz. Before the film, Kunal Kemmu’s Lootcase and Sushant Singh Rajput’s Dil Bechara recently had their digital premiere on Disney + Hotstar.
Vidyut is excited about his film’s success and said playing Sameer was intriguing and challenging for him as he had to do a lot of unlearning for it.
“It’s a humbling experience to receive such an overwhelming response from audiences and especially from Jamwallions across India. Khuda Haafiz has seen one of my biggest openings yet and this success would not have been possible without their constant appreciation and support and I will be forever indebted,” the actor said.
Khuda Haafiz is directed by Faruk Kabir who has previously directed The Awakening, a short film, starring Ajay Devgn. He also helmed Allah Ke Banday. “Khuda Haafiz is so personal in many ways and I’m glad Vidyut, team and my efforts stand validated by the audience today,” the director said.
Khuda Haafiz is the story of a young, recently wedded couple from India – Sameer (Vidyut Jammwal) and Nargis (Shivaleeka Oberoi), who decide to go work overseas in search for better career opportunities. Under mysterious and shocking circumstances Nargis goes missing in a foreign land and Sameer, a helpless common man tries everything in his power to bring his wife back safely with him. The movie has been inspired by a series of real-life events.
The movie started streaming on Disney + Hotstar VIP from August 14 onwards.
