The film’s producers — Bhushan Kumar of T-Series and RDP Motion Pictures’ Abhinay Deo, who has also directed the project, hosted the special screening for Bachchan on behalf of Irrfan, who is currently away for treatment.

Any kind of appreciati­on is great for a movie, and Bachchan’s praise for Blackmail is like a pat on the back for everyone involved with it. Earlier, Irrfan had expressed his wish to get the best possible release for his new film; hence, despite the actor’s absence from the promotions or screenings, the makers have decided to release the film as scheduled, which is this Friday.

Blackmail has received immense appreciati­on ever since the release of its teaser. Even the hilarious trailer of film, which asks a question “What will you do if you find your wife in bed with someone else?”, has piqued the interest of the audience.

Besides Irrfan, the madcap comedy stars Kirti Kulhari, Divya Dutta, Arunoday Singh, Omi Vaidya, Anuja Sathe, Pradhuman Singh Mall and Gajraj Rao.
