Actor Shahid Kapoor starrer Batti Gul Meter Chalu has been in news since quite sometime because of the ups and downs it was going through with respect to its production.

But things are sorted now, and everything looks in place now as the Udta Punjab actor has released the first poster of his most awaited film Batti Gul Meter Chalu on Wednesday.

The poster is unusual and says alot about the film in a capsule. 

The poster features an entire town in darkness, contained in a light bulb which too is fused. At the back of the bulb, one can see an electricity bill with a hefty amount that has to be paid. 

Taking to social media, lead actor Shahid Kapoor shared the poster which reads, “fused bulb se Kranti nahi layi jaa sakti.” 

The actor shared the poster and captioned it as, “It's current! It's light! It's shocking! #BattiGulMeterChalu #BGMCPoster Trailer out on Friday at 12:30 pm.”

Not only did Shahid share the poster, but also revealed the release date of the trailer of the film. 

In many of his interviews, Shahid Kapoor has claimed that Batti Gul Meter Chalu is a very special film for him and that he agreed to do the film because his wife Mira Rajput liked the script a lot.

Batti Gul Meter Chalu is about bringing the social issue of electricity shortage to the notice of people and to encourage authorities to investigate the inaccuracies of electricity bills. 

Directed by Shree Narayan Singh, the film will also see Shraddha Kapoor and Yami Gautam in pivotal roles. 

The film is slated to release on September 21.
