Trailer Unveils a Colourful Collision of Myth and Madness
The makers of Rahu Ketu have released the eagerly awaited trailer, promising a fresh, comic take on ancient myth blended with modern-day chaos. Backed by Zee Studios and Blive Productions, the film teases a light-hearted entertainer that uses folklore as the springboard for humour, moral mishaps and messy consequences.
Voice of Myth and the Set-Up
The trailer opens with veteran actor Piyush Mishra lending his unmistakable voice to introduce the mythological framework of Rahu and Ketu. His narration roots the film in folklore, while the visuals quickly shift to a present-day world where impulsive choices and human flaws set off a chain of comic events.
Lead Pair: Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma
Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma form the film’s comic core. Pulkit plays a man driven by ambition and shortcuts, often choosing the easy—if risky—route. Varun’s role leans heavily into situational comedy and physical humour, offering the kind of pratfalls and reactions he’s known for.
Their chemistry is played for laughs but also for story: the trailer shows how two very different approaches to life can collide and escalate into full-blown chaos, with mythology—quite literally—coming into play.
What the leads say
“Fantasy worlds have always fascinated me,” Pulkit says, adding that stepping into a colourful, chaotic universe rooted in comedy was a major draw. “Watching mythological ideas come alive in a fun, accessible way — especially for kids — and being part of that journey was an absolute joy.”
Varun sums up the film’s tone neatly: “The humour in Rahu Ketu is deeply situational and rooted in human flaws. We’re not just making people laugh — we’re holding up a mirror, only with chaos, madness and a lot of fun.”
Shalini Pandey and the Supporting Players
Shalini Pandey appears in a confident, assertive role that the trailer suggests is central to the story’s emotional and moral arc. She praises director Vipul Vig for a clear vision and for giving actors creative freedom, calling the shoot one of the most fun journeys of her career.
The supporting cast includes Chunky Pandey, who leans into the comedy, and Amit Sial, whose presence adds a more grounded counterpoint to the craziness. Together they round out a cast that balances slapstick with moments of sincerity.
Mythology Meets Consequence
A key turning point in the trailer is the arrival of the mythological figures Rahu and Ketu. Their involvement pushes the story beyond simple comedy, introducing a broader philosophical thread about cause and consequence. The result is a film that aims to be playful and thoughtful at once—an accessible fantasy for younger audiences, with enough humour and heart for adults.
Director, Release and What to Expect
Directed by Vipul Vig, Rahu Ketu looks to be his cinematic debut as a director and promises his signature brand of controlled chaos. With a mix of physical gags, situational humour and an undercurrent of mythic curiosity, the film sets out to entertain while gently reflecting on human foibles.
Rahu Ketu is set to release in theatres nationwide on January 16, 2026. Expect a colourful, family-friendly comedy that wears its folklore proudly and serves up laughs with a thoughtful aftertaste.
