Mumbai: Netflix unveiled today the first trailer for director Ali Abbas Zafar’s upcoming drama film Jogi. The movie is set during the Delhi riots of 1984 and stars Diljit Dosanjh in the title role. This film narrates the tale of three friends fighting for survival across three tumultuous days of violence.
The trailer opens with Jogi enjoying breakfast with his family, seemingly during the calm before the storm. But as gunshots ring through their neighbourhood, followed by violent mob invasion, the protagonist attempts to flee the city and travel Punjab.
Actor Diljit Dosanjh also tweeted the trailer. “Mittar Pyare Nu Haal Mureedan Da Kehna. 16th September, only on Netflix!”, tweeted the actor.
This is Zafar’s second major streaming project, after the controversial Amazon Prime Video series Tandav, starring Saif Ali Khan. Jogi reunites the filmmaker with Tandav actor Mahammed Zeeshan Ayyub.
