Manav Kaul & Nandita Das in Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aata Hai, Trailer is Out

The remake of the Saeed Akhtar Mirza's 1980 cult classic “Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aata Hai” is out with its first trailer, featuring Manav Kaul and Nandita Das in the lead roles.

In the modern day remake of the iconic classic, Albert goes missing one day. It is his anger that is taking him on a journey, to settle a score that will relieve him of his helplessness and enable him to lead a life of dignity and hope.

This remake of the 80's cult classic movie is being directed by Soumitra Ranade, also starring Saurabh Shukla in a pivotal role. The film explores the theme of personal and societal struggle in today's times.

Manav said in a statement: "It is a really special and iconic film but we are trying to show that story through a new perspective. We have made this film with a lot of hard work and honesty. It was exciting to work with Soumitra and Nandita."

The original film starred Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil.

It talks about the anger felt by the common man in contemporary India - in the face of continued political, social and cultural breakdown.

"I did it for nostalgia and for the director. Soumitra is one of the finest human beings I know and the journey of making Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aata Hai was made special because of his commitment and passion to the story he so wanted to tell," said Nandita.

The film is produced by Soumitra Ranade, Golden Ratio Films, Paperboat Design Studios, Templetree Motion Pictures, Vikram Saxena, Jagmeet Singh, Noopur Raje, Pinke Ankur Patel and No Guts No Glory Films.

It will release on April 12.
