Kriti essays the character of a bold and rebellious Bitti, who break dances and watches English films. Ayushmann as Chirag is head over heels for Bitti and reflects the typical lovestruck small town guy. Rajkumar Rao dons two avatars one as a timid saree seller and the other as the funny mawali.
The slice of life film presents a quirky love triangle wherein Bitti aka Kriti is in the search for her groom, while Chirag aka Ayushmann and Pritam aka Rajkumar are seen competing for her love. Set in the backdrop of a small town Bareilly, the trailer is refreshing and delightful in its approach.
The film brings together an ensemble cast with Kriti Sanon, Rajkumar Rao, and Ayushmann Khurrana teaming up for the first time on screen.
Bareilly Ki Barfi is produced by Abhay Chopra and Juno Chopra's BR Studio in association with Junglee Pictures, the film is directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari and is scheduled to release on August 18, 2017.
