Directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar, Chhatriwali is a complete entertainer which will make you grin and leave you with some delightful mix of endless comedy along with some amazing performances.

Rakul, with her knack for choosing unusual subjects, is the backbone of the film bringing a sense of confidence and energy to the role said, “We are addressing an important subject in Chhatriwali which is said in an entertaining manner without becoming preachy. I had certain questions for the director as I felt the subject needed to be treated sensitively.  Once we spoke, all my doubts were cleared. What convinced me about this film was how clean the script was. A sensitive topic is dealt with in a humorous way. A story like Chhatriwali needs to be watched by everyone. I hope the audience of &Pictures watch and enjoys the film as much as we did while making it.”

Sumeet Vyas who plays Rishi Kalra is extremely confident and convincing. Talking about the film he said, “When the script of Chhatriwali came my way, it left me fascinated. It is one of the most thrilling and beautiful scripts that I came across in my career so far. The film talks about a subject that isn’t discussed often and it is handled with a lot of grace. With the film, we are trying to normalise a conversation without being preachy and in an amusing and entertaining way. With the world television premiere of &pictures, I am excited for audiences to watch our film.”
