Raj Kundra’s highly discussed film, UT69, is set to hit the screens on November 3. The recently released trailer provides a raw glimpse into Kundra’s life, during his time at Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail. The trailer showcases his life following his arrest in 2021 for alleged involvement in a pornographic content case.
The trailer begins with a ‘breaking news’ segment, following Raj’s arrest and the ensuing media frenzy. Raj’s character, played by himself in his acting debut, goes through a remarkable transformation. Inmates question him on his personal life, whether being Shilpa Shetty’s husband or being a Big Boss contestant. He goes through constant ridicule from fellow prisoners and the prison staff, which forms a significant part of the trailer’s narrative.
A stampede-like incident and unexpected friendships within the jail’s confines add further layers of intrigue to the story. Raj’s character’s struggle for acceptance, survival, and personal growth unfolds throughout the trailer.
