‘Monsoon Shootout’ to get India’s first interactive trailer!

Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s next crime thriller Monsoon Shootout has already been creating quite a buzz amongst the audience following its poster and teaser launch a few days ago. The film has Nawazuddin playing a gruesome character on the run. The makers of the film have also released two songs of the film and both have been runaway successes.

Monsoon Shootout which is releasing on December 15, is going beyond the traditional way of releasing the trailer for the film. For the first time ever, a trailer will be launched where the audiences would get a choice to see the content of the trailer in two different aspects. 

A source close to the project says, the film’s central character played by Vijay Verma is torn between the choices he has to make as a cop, in the split of a second. 

“It’s the first time a film is using such a narrative to tell a story from three different points of view. Thus to bring out the idea of how one’s choices can alter their lives, the trailer for Monsoon Shootout will be interactive. The audiences will see the trailer to a point where they will be given an option to select between, ‘To Shoot or Not To Shoot’. Then what unfolds in the trailer will be based on the choice the viewer makes,” says the source.

Speaking about this, producer Guneet Monga said, “The film’s story and narrative is something extremely different from what the audiences have seen so far. The central character that Vijay plays in the film is torn in a split of a second decision to shoot or not to shoot a crime suspect. So keeping the theme and the innovative story that Monsoon Shootout is, the audience will get to choose what they want to see in the trailer when it releases this week. The idea is to have one trailer but the trailer stops at a junction and asks the audience to select which narrative they would like to see — To Shoot or Not to Shoot. Nothing of this sorts has been seen so far and we are excited to know what people think of it.”

Monsoon Shootout is a crime thriller directed by Amit Kumar and produced by Guneet, Anurag Kashyap, Arun Rangachari and Vivek Rangachari. The film also stars Neeraj Kabi and Tannishtha Chatterjee in primary roles.
