The highly anticipated trailer for "Sukhee," featuring Shilpa Shetty in the lead role, was unveiled on the internet today.
Shilpa Shetty, known for her remarkable debut in the 1990s with successful films like "Baazigar," "Main Khiladi Tu Anari," and "Dhadkan," took a break from acting and spent time abroad.
Now, the versatile actress-entrepreneur is gearing up for her next cinematic venture, the slice-of-life comedy film, "Sukhee."

The two-minute trailer offers a sneak peek into the film's delightful narrative. "Sukhee" revolves around the life of a housewife named Sukhee, who decides to break free from her mundane routine and embarks on a journey to Delhi to have fun with her friends.
While the film delivers humour and liveliness on the surface, it also delves into more profound themes, touching on issues related to patriarchy and women's empowerment. It sheds light on society's expectations that often force women to prioritize family over their own dreams. The film's tagline reads, "Get ready to be Bedhadak. Besharam. Beparwah."
Directed by Sonal Joshi and written by Joshi, Radhika Anand, Paulomi Dutta, and Rupinder Inderjit, "Sukhee" boasts a stellar cast. Alongside Shilpa Shetty, it features social media influencers such as Kusha Kapila, Amit Sadh, Chaitannya Choudhury, Dilnaz Irani, Pavleen Gujral, Kiran Kumar, and Vinod Nagpal. The film is set to hit theaters on September 22nd. A teaser video, released by the makers yesterday, features Shilpa and Kusha in a candid conversation, breaking the fourth wall.
Shilpa Shetty's last appearance was in the 2022 action comedy film "Nikamma," co-starring Abhimanyu Dassani and Shirley Setia. While "Nikamma" received a negative critical response and underperformed at the box office, Shilpa's fans eagerly await her return to the big screen in "Sukhee."
