Fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s film Mr & Mrs Mahi. After months of hinting at the movie’s potential storyline, the makers recently released the much-anticipated trailer. The sneak peek has sent the excitement into a fever pitch. However, many wonder: Is Mr & Mrs Mahi based on a true story?
Mr & Mrs Mahi trailer teases plot details
The trailer, which dropped recently, offers an intriguing glimpse into the world of the upcoming movie Mr & Mrs Mahi. Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao play a married couple whose shared passion for cricket binds them together amidst life’s challenges.
Rajkummar Rao’s character, Mr. Mahi, dreams of making it to the national Indian cricket team. However, when his aspirations are shattered, he finds solace in coaching his wife. Mrs Mahi, played by Janhvi Kapoor, is a doctor who has a talent for the sport. This imperfectly perfect partnership forms the crux of the plot. Additionally, throughout the trailer, the on-screen chemistry between Janhvi and Rajkummar is palpable, drawing viewers into their characters’ journey filled with personal and professional challenges.
According to recent reports, the film draws inspiration from the life of Indian cricket icon Mahendra Singh Dhoni. After all, the film title itself features his name, ‘Mahi.’ Moreover, the trailer pays homage to him, featuring the duo attending a Team India cricket match while wearing jerseys bearing Dhoni’s iconic number 7. Additionally, the latest buzz is there might be a cameo by the cricketer himself. Cementing such claims, Janhvi Kapoor recently sported an ensemble that featured the name Mahi.
The announcement of Mr & Mrs Mahi last year generated much excitement among fans. Karan Johar, one of the producers, took to social media to share the news, describing the film as “It’s all heart and more, that makes a magical story ‘pitch-er perfect.’” Fans can catch the movie on May 31, 2024.
