Irrfan's
quirky
comedy,
Blackmail
revolves
around
a
blackmail
spree
that
the
protagonist
Dev
aka
Irrfan
gets
embroiled
in,
upon
seeing
his
wife
in
bed
with
her
lover.
Interestingly,
a
track
in
the
film
is
identical
to
the
ongoing
CDR
row
where
a
detective
is
involved
in
the
exchange
of
call
data
records.
The
similarity
comes
as
a
surprise
to
the
makers
who
were
stunned
upon
reading
reports
about
the
under
investigation
CDR
row
in
Bollywood.
Says
a
source,
"Irrfan's
character
comes
in
contact
with
a
detective
to
procure
call
data
records,
in
one
part
of
the
film.
The
striking
similarity
the
film
has
to
a
real
life
scenario
is
baffling."
The
CDR
case
has
became
sensationalized
as
the
case
is
still
under
investigation.
But
the
makers
of
Irrfan
Khan
starrer
Blackmail
were
left
astounded
when
they
came
to
know
about
the
case,
as
it
bears
a
strong
resemblance
to
an
integral
part
of
their
film.
The
interesting
twist
in
Irrfan
Khan's
Blackmail
has
also
has
happened
in
reality,
which
has
further
piqued
the
curiosity
around
the
film.
Earlier
while
speaking
about
the
film,
director
Abhinay
Deo
had
told
a
leading
daily,
" Delhi
Belly
was
an
amazing
script,
and
after
the
massive
success
of
the
film,
I
was
looking
for
a
script
that
would
be
at
par
if
not
better,
and
then
finally
47
scripts
and
6
years
later
I
found
the
one.
The
moment
I
read
the
script,
I
knew
that
Blackmail
was
the
film
I
wanted
to
make
next."
Blackmail
has
received
immense
appreciation
ever
since
the
teaser
of
the
film
released.
The
teaser
showed
Irrfan
running
around
the
streets
wearing
nothing
more
than
a
pair
of
boxer
shorts
with
his
face
covered
by
a
bra-and-panty
paper
bag.
The
hilarious
trailer
of
the
Irrfan-starrer
further
piqued
the
interest
of
the
audience
in
which
the
question
raised
was:
"What
will
you
do
if
you
find
your
wife
in
bed
with
someone
else?"
The
quirky
trailer
promises
a
madcap
comedy
starring
an
ensemble
cast
of
Irrfan,
Kirti
Kulhari,
Divya
Dutta,
Arunoday
Singh,
Omi
Vaidya,
Anuja
Sathe,
Pradhuman
Singh
Mall,
Gajraj
Rao,
among
many
others.
