The first posters of Rishi Kapoor and Taapsee Pannu-starrer Mulk have been lately dropped by the makers. The posters were shared on the official Twitter handles of Rishi Kapoor and film trade analyst Taran Adarsh on Thursday. Going by the poster, the film looks like a full-fledged courtroom drama following the league of Jolly LLB 2, Pink, No One Killed Jessica and Damini. The shooting of the film took place in Benaras and Lucknow. It is the first time Taapsee Pannu is sharing screen space with Rishi Kapoor.
The teaser claims that the drama is based on a series of true events in which a Muslim family based in Varanasi is accused of treason. Prateik Babbar, whose role had been kept under wraps so far, makes an appearance as another accused being taken to jail in a police van. The teaser has an obvious patriotic fervour to it with Taapsee delivering dialogues about what it really takes to become a nation.
