​Serious Men Trailer Is Here

Finally, the much-awaited trailer of Serious Men, the first-ever collaboration of Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sudhir Mishra, is out with its official trailer and this is one story which is as real as it can get!

The official handle of Netflix India dropped the trailer on social media. They captioned it, “Genius runs in the Mani family. #SeriousMen @BombayFables @sejtherage @manujosephsan @Nawazuddin_S @Indiraaaa369 @IAmSudhirMishra @shweta_official @Aakshath2 @actornasser”

The Netflix original stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Ayyan Mani, a lower-middle-class man who wants his son to stand on the same pedestal as the ‘serious men’ who sit in big offices and lord over the likes of him.

The trailer begins with his satirical take on nepotism and how it takes four generations to improve your lot. He comes up with an elaborate con that sells his son as a child genius, a mix between Ambedkar and APJ Abdul Kalam.

Based on Manu Joseph’s book by the same name, Nawazuddin is portrayed as just another man in Mumbai, stranded in the rot of a good marriage, an unremarkable life and a dead-end job as personal assistant to an insufferable astronomer. The film asks this important question as a man presents his son as a child genius in the hope of a better future.

Produced by Bombay Fables and Cine Raas Entertainment, he film will release on October 2. It also stars Indira Tiwari, M. Nasser and Shweta Basu Prasad.
