After much wait, the trailer of Nawazuddin Siddiqui's upcoming Netflix film Serious Men has been released on social media platforms. The film directed by Sudhir Mishra stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Aakshath Das, Shweta Basu Prasad, Nasser and Indira Tiwari. Serious Men will release on the OTT platform on October 2, 2020.
Serious Men revolves around Ayyan Mani (Nawazuddin) who comes from a rather humble background. With dreams to make it big and enjoy a luxurious life, Ayyan desires that the fourth generation of an underprivileged family is able to join the world of the eponymous serious men. When his son Adi comes into the world, Ayyan aspires to leave no stone unturned to make him a successful man. Adi is a genius and this wins him the title of junior Abdul Kalam. At a tender age, Adi becomes a star with extensive media coverage. However, little does Ayyan know that troubles lay ahead in abundance.
Serious Men is based on the novel by the same name, written by author Manu Joseph. The script is by writer-producer Bhavesh Mandalia and the film was shot in Mumbai.
Talking about Serious Men, director Sudhir said, “The great thing about Manu Joseph’s novel is that it is funny and wacky, yet deeply emotional. The film charts its own graph for the transformation of the story to another medium, but it still remains an endearing story of a father’s desire to create a bright future for his son. It is a delight to bring this tale to the world along with a creative partner in Netflix. The film may be specific in its articulation, but it is very universal at the same time.”
