MUMBAI: Hindi movie channel &pictures will air courtroom saga ‘Rustom’ on 26 January at 8 pm. The movie was premiered on Zee Cinema in October last year.
Inspired from real life incidents, the film is directed by Tinu Suresh Desai and produced by Neeraj Pandey.
The film stars Akshay Kumar in the lead role, along with Ileana D’Cruz, Arjan Bajwa and Esha Gupta playing vital characters in the movie.
‘Rustom’ touches upon various stories including exposing the politics of Indian navy, a love story, a thrilling murder mystery and a rollercoaster of emotions.
Known for his love for uniform and the Indian military forces, Kumar has been a part of around 20 films where he has donned the uniform look, including ‘Rustom’.
The story of ‘Rustom’ revolves around the Indian Naval Officer Rustom Pavri (Akshay Kumar) and his wife Cynthia (Ileana D’Cruz), who are happily married. One day, Rustom returns home and surprises his wife Cynthia. He discovers his friend Vikarm Makhija’s (Arjan Bajwa) love letters in Cynthia’s wardrobe and leaves his home to confront them.
His next step creates a stir in everyone’s life, when he rushes to Vikram’s bedroom and the servants hear three gun shots. They find Vikram’s body in a pool of blood and Rustom walks away without saying a word. What follows is a legal battle in which Rustom surrenders himself but halfway through the hearing, he decides to fight back. Vikram’s sister Priti (Esha Gupta) hires the best lawyers to ensure Rustom is charged for the murder.
