The trailer of the upcoming film Gaslight was released on Tuesday afternoon. The thriller, which stars Sara Ali Khan, Chitrangda Singh, and Vikrant Massey in the lead roles, will be releasing on Disney+ Hotstar later this month. The dark, gritty trailer has been appreciated by fans.
The trailer opens with Sara Ali Khan’s character arriving at a palatial mansion, apparently her childhood home. Here, she is greeted by Chitrangda Singh’s Rukmini, who hugs her and remarks that she has grown. We see that Sara’s character Misha is in a wheelchair. She asks Rukmini where her father is, only to be given a vague answer. Meesha begins to suspect there is something sinister behind her father’s absence.
She meets Kapil (Vikrant Massey), who handles her father Raja saheb’s affairs but he claims he doesn’t know either. Meesha claims she saw her father after an incident leaves her injured. But the people in the palace and the police do not believe her. She is convinced that her father has been murdered and even sees ‘the body’ but it vanishes. But did it really happen or is it all in her mind, Meesha is left wondering.
