Chhatriwali is an upcoming Bollywood romance-comedy film directed by Ronnie Screwvala and Tejas Deoskar. The lead roles in this film are given by Rakul Preet Singh, Sumeet Vyas and Satish Kaushik. The film is scheduled to be released on 20th January 2023. Chhatriwali will be released in Hindi from India to the world.
Rakul Preet Singh is ready with her first release of the year, Chhatriwali. The actress, who has made several films with each other, is now headlining a film in which she takes it upon herself to educate the younger generation about safe sex. The newly released trailer shows Rakul as a simple girl, who doesn't believe in beating around the bush and becomes a teacher to educate school-age children about safe sex and reproduction.

In the trailer, Sumeet Vyas asks Rakul why someone would wear protection during sex. She finds a loved one miscarrying due to unprotected sex and school textbooks that have male and female reproduction as electives. She defies school authorities not to teach sex education as an elective and begins holding sessions to answer questions related to sex. She also gathers housewives and educates them about protected sex.
Directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar, the everyday life drama is set in Haryana and features Rakul as Sanya. Rakul was last seen in Doctor G in which she played a gynecologist.
Speaking about the film, Rakul said, “Chhatriwali was that dream project where I ticked all the boxes and now with the trailer I hope our hard work pays off as this film deserves special attention and credit. In today's patriarchal society, every home needs a Sanya who has the courage to single-handedly fight against all odds, traditions, social norms, and barriers."
Chhatriwali aims to convey the message about the importance of male contraceptives and safe sex, she added. "I hope this character inspires others to find their voice and speak out against unsafe sex and the many health implications of not using protection. Young people in India make up the majority of the population and educate them about safe sex and Sex education is the need of the hour, so I'm glad Chhatriwali is catering to them and everyone else in a progressive and entertaining way," said Rakul.
Sumeet Vyas, who stars opposite Rakul in the film, said that the film breaks down the wall of awkward silence around sex in Indian society. "Today's generation is curious about the word 'sex', 'intimacy' because there is always a feeling of 'silence' around those topics. Amid the mess of genres and stories, I'm glad the team thought on this powerful narrative -- and he delivered it with great sensitivity," he added.
Produced by Ronnie Screwvala, Chhatriwali will premiere on ZEE5 on January 20. It also stars Satish Shah, Dolly Ahluwalia, Rajesh Tailang, Prachee Shah Paandya, Rakesh Bedi and Riva Arora.
