Nagraj Manjule’s film Jhund, starring Amitabh Bachchan, is a highly anticipated film and is reportedly based on the life of Slum Soccer founder Vijay Barse. While several on-set pictures of Jhund had been earlier released, now the makers have officially unveiled the first look poster of Jhund. Amitabh Bachchan took to his Twitter and gave us the first glimpse of his character in the film. He plays a sports coach, and while the poster only shows Amitabh Bachchan’s back, the poster has left us intrigued.
Taking to his Twitter handle, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, “T 3415 - JHUND ... झुंड !! ... JHUND ... झुंड.” The poster shows Amitabh Bachchan dressed in a blue hoodie. He faces the wall and slums in the background and the sketchy poster also shows a football on the ground. The director of the film Nagraj Manjule has earlier directed films like Fandry, and Sairat which was remade in Hindi with Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead roles.
