&pictures To Presents Prabhu Deva Starrer ‘TutakTutakTutiya’ on 2nd February

By Tricitynews Reporter

Chandigarh 30^th January:- To give audiences a taste of the newly explored genre of Horror-Comedy, Naye India Ka Blockbuster Movie Channel - &pictures presents the Prabhu Deva starrer ‘Tutak Tutak Tutiya’ on Thursday,2^nd February, 2017 at 8 PM. Directed by A. L. Vijay, the film also stars SonuSood and Tamannah in the lead roles.

Talking about the movie, producer-actor, Sonu Sood said that his character in Tutak Tutak Tutiya is different from what he has been doing so far. He is used to doing action sequences but his character in this film was quite simple. Being a producer and actor at the same time is difficult but creatively satisfying. He has learnt a lot while working on the film.

A perfect family entertainer Tutak Tutak Tutiya revolves around Krishna (Prabhu Deva), who wants to get married to a modern, open minded city girl. A visit to his paternal home in Tamil Nadu crushes his dream as he is forcibly married off to Devi (Tamannah). She is a naïve villager who does not match any of Krishna's parameters. Back in Mumbai, the newly married couple rent an apartment without realizing that it was previously leased by an aspiring actor Ruby who had committed suicide. Things take a hysterical turn when Krishna starts noticing the drastic personality changes in his wife who now in her uber-cool avatar addresses herself as ‘Ruby’. Catching the fancy of the superstar Raj Khanna (SonuSood), Ruby finally gets a chance to fulfill her unfinished dream to star in a movie.
