Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra's 'Toaster' To Release on Netflix in April

Actor couple Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa’s first film under their banner, Kampa Film, is ready to release. Netflix on Thursday announced that the upcoming dark comedy Toaster will release on the platform on April 15. The film also stars Sanya Malhotra, Abhishek Banerjee and Archana Puran Singh.

According to the streamer, the Vivek Das Chaudhary directioal takes an everyday object, a toaster, and turns it into the centre of an "increasingly ridiculous chain of events. What starts as a petty fixation quickly spirals into a situation far bigger than anyone expected."

"Most wedding gifts are given, exchanged with a smile, and eventually forgotten. But what happens when the wedding gets called off after the gift exchange — and someone simply refuses to forget their gift? That’s where the madness of Netflix’s upcoming entertainer, Toaster, begins," reads the logline of the film.

Patralekhaa said stepping into production with Kampa Film has been an incredibly meaningful milestone and added that Toaster finds humour in the most unexpected places, and, "the moment we read it, we knew it was a story we wanted to bring to life."

"Being our very first film makes the experience even more personal for us. Having such a wonderful ensemble come together for this journey has been truly exciting, and we can’t wait for audiences to dive into this entertaining and unpredictable ride," she said.

Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director of Original Films, Netflix India, said the film is a quirky dark comedy that begins with a simple miser whose life spirals into complete mayhem in pursuit of getting back his toaster.

"It’s the kind of inventive storytelling we love to champion at Netflix. With Vivek Das Chaudhary making his directorial debut and Patralekhaa & Raj stepping into the producer’s role for the first time with Kampa Film, the project reflects our continued focus on championing emerging talent behind the camera while bringing an exciting burst of fresh creative energy."

Toaster also stars Farah Khan, Upendra Limaye, Vinod Rawat, Jitendra Joshi and Seema Pahwa. The film is written by Parveez Shaikh, Akshat Ghildial and Anagh Mukerjee.
