Meanwhile, the trailer also teases courtroom drama, with Jitendra’s character defending himself fiercely against charges of abduction. These intense moments suggest the film is not just a straightforward crime thriller, but a psychological drama exploring morality, truth, and justice. Many viewers have already compared the mood and style of the trailer to Asur, the much-acclaimed series that also featured Arshad Warsi. Directed by Akshay Shere, the film is produced by Jio Studios in association with Baweja Studios and Dog ‘n’ Bone Pictures. Actress Ayesha Kaduskar also plays a pivotal role.
Speaking about the film, director Akshay Shere said, “Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas is more than just a thriller. It explores themes of morality, redemption, and personal choices. Both Arshad and Jitendra brought incredible depth to their roles.” Additionally, Arshad Warsi described his role as one of the most demanding of his career. “Vishwas Bhagwat is not your typical hero. He’s flawed, angry, and haunted by his past, but determined to seek justice. Playing him was emotionally exhausting, but also very rewarding,” he said.
Furthermore, Jitendra Kumar revealed that the film gave him the chance to break away from his usual image. “Sameer is a character with many layers he may look ordinary and vulnerable, but he carries a far darker side within him. It was challenging but also liberating to play this role,” he explained.
