Malaal trailer: Sharmin Segal, Meezaan star in a love story produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali

The trailer of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s niece  Sharmin Segal and Jaaved Jaaferi’s son Meezaan’s Bollywood debut Malaal was released on 18 May. Directed by Mangesh Hadawale, the film has been produced by Sanjay, Bhushan Kumar, Mahaveer Jain and Krishan Kumar. According to the film’s synopsis it is “the story of Shiva and Astha, two very different people from contrasting backgrounds who experience the innocence of love”. While Shiva is one of the popular but rowdy residents of the chawl, Astha seems like his complete opposite. She is also treated like an outsider, solely because she does not seem to speak Marathi like the rest of them.
