Makers release motion poster of ‘Jabariya Jodi’

NEW DELHI: The makers on Saturday released the motion poster of Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra starrer ‘Jabariya Jodi’.

The movie has been garnering a lot of attention from the audience ever since its announcement for bringing a rustic and unique wedding to the big screens.

Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter, Sidharth Malhotra said,”2 deewane 1 nishana Dulhe ko pakadwana! Save the Date #JabariyaJodi trailer out in 2 days. @ParineetiChopra @ektaravikapoor @RuchikaaKapoor @ShaaileshRSingh #PrashantSingh @balajimotionpic @ZeeMusicCompany #JabariyaJodiOn2ndAug”.

Parineeti said,”2 dilwale 1 celebration Jabariya shaadi ka invitation!Save the date #JabariyaJodi trailer out in 2 days.@SidMalhotra @ektaravikapoor @RuchikaaKapoor @ShaaileshRSingh #PrashantSingh @balajimotionpic @ZeeMusicCompany #JabariyaJodiOn2ndAug”.

‘Jabariya Jodi’ is based on a real-life practice that is prevalent in Bihar and in some parts of Uttar Pradesh. The concept here is that eligible grooms are kidnapped by the bride’s family and are forced to get married in order to avoid paying dowry.

Since marriage is considered to be sacred, it is highly unlikely that the grooms would try to get the marriages annulled. The practice has been around for decades and ‘Jabariya Jodi’ takes an interesting, quirky take on the concept of Pakadwa Shaadi or ‘Jabariya Shaadi’. (AGENCIES)
