Aishwarya, Irrfan’s edgy dramatic avatar in Jazbaa revealed

The <g data-gr-id="14">much awaited</g> trailer of Sanjay Gupta’s forthcoming directorial Jazbaa featuring actors Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Irrfan Khan has been revealed — and it shows the duo in a powerful and dramatic avatar. 

It begins with Aishwarya, who plays a character named Anuradha Verma, a lawyer, receiving a phone call, where she is threatened to fight the case of a criminal, who is guilty of rape and murder. Irrfan is introduced as a suspended cop, who is popular for sporting megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s look and ‘tevar’(attitude). Jazbaa will mark Aishwarya’s return to the silver screen after a five-year hiatus. 

She was last seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish (2010).  Produced by Essel Vision, White Feather Films and Viking Entertainment, the film also has established actors Atul Kulkarni, Jackie Shroff, Chandan Roy Sanyal and Shabana Azmi along with Aishwarya. Jazbaa is slated to release on October 9.
