MUMBAI: After attracting rave reviews for his latest directorial venture Dev D, Anurag Kashyap is now ready to release his next on 13 March.

Presented by Zee Limelight, Gulaal casts Kay Kay Menon as the lead protagonist and also marks Jesse Randhawa’s foray into Bollywood.

The film’s cast also includes names like Deepak Dobriyal, Aditya Shrivastav, Mahie Gill, Raj Singh Chaudhary, Ayesha Mohan and Abhimanyu Singh.

Penned by Anurag Kashyap, Raja Chaudhary and Aparna Chaturvedi, Gulaal’s story is similar to a Shakespearean fable. The film is an attempt to bring back poetry and songs to cinema to ‘inspire, shock and provocative’.
