Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, also starring Bhumi Pednekar, is based on the theme of sanitation - and is slightly related to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. The film highlights the importance of having a toilet in a house and deals with the prevalence of open defecation in India.
Toilet: Ek Prem Katha is a satirical love story.
Meanwhile, the first song of the film, titled,
Hans Mat Pagli, will release tomorrow.
The Shree Narayan Singh-directed film is slated to release on August 11. Anupam Kher plays a pivotal role in the film. The film also stars Divyendu Sharma, Sudhir Pandey and Shubha Khote as the supporting cast.
Akshay Kumar recently won his first ever National Award for
Rustom, produced by Neeraj Pandey.
