The last movie of Satish Kaushik, Mirg, is set to the theatres. The trailer for Mirg debuted on Wednesday. The two-minute teaser features dramatic, enigmatic, and intriguing scenes. The cast is led by the late Satish Kaushik and includes Raj Babbar and Anup Soni.
The coming-of-age vengeance film, which opens in theatres on February 9, stars Shwetaabh Singh in a key role. Mirg has particular meaning because it’s Kaushik’s final movie; he passed away from heart arrest last year.
The movie chronicles the exploits of Anil, a perceptive but imprisoned child who obeys rules. One occurrence changed Anil’s perspective on everything around him, as did his relationship with his coworker Ravi. The mythology of Mirg, a mountain leopard that lived in the lower regions of Himachal Pradesh, is at the heart of the narrative. Raj Babbar is seen as a seasoned politician. Mirg trailer also features a gun-wielding Satish Kaushik.
The film’s official synopsis reads, “Mirg is a mountain leopard found in the lower regions of Himachal Pradesh. There are numerous myths surrounding this rarely-seen creature. Myths and stories are what separates Mirg from a regular leopard. Stories that are larger than life yet strangely believable. The film explores the journey of one man, Anil, an intelligent yet caged order-following boy. One incident and his attachment to his coworker (Ravi) changes his perspective of everything around him. Why is he following orders blindly? Why does no one not revolt even when mistreated? Are potent people really as powerful or untouchable as the myths claim? Or can myths be just stories to amplify and create fear? Set in the jungles of Himachal, Mirg is a coming-of-age revenge drama. It is the journey of realization that in the jungle, the difference between the hunter and the hunted is just one letter, nothing more, nothing less.”
Mirg is directed by Tarun Sharma and is produced by Rishi Anand, Shwetaabh Singh and Tarun Sharma.
