The trailer of Cuttputlli, starring Akshay Kumar and Rakul Preet Singh, released on Saturday and it is gripping in every sense. The film is set in Kasuali, where a serial killer is on the loose and Akshay Kumar and Rakul Preet Singh are the cops, who are on the mission to stop the killer. Akshay Kumar warns his team against a serial killer, who has already committed 3 murders.

Speaking at the film’s trailer launch in Mumbai on Saturday, Akshay Kumar told the reporters, “Set once upon a time in Kasauli amidst the backdrop of nature’s beauty, the film unveils incidents of ugly killings. It’s filled with enthralling twists and turns. I play an underdog investigation officer, Arjan Sethi who is on a trail to catch the psychopath killer whose motives are unpredictable and unclear. Here, revenge is an illusion and the last act of the movie is unthinkable and will take you by total surprise – and that’s what makes it unique,” stated news agency ANI.
