Going by the sneak peek, Aadhaar looks like an entertaining dramedy featuring yet another convincing performance by Vineet Kumar Singh.
Talking about the film, Vineet said in a statement, “Aadhaar showcases the journey of a common man from a small village while getting his Aadhaar card when introduced initially. It was such a learning for me and an interesting experience shooting for this film, and I am looking forward to its release.”
Suman Ghosh, who is making his Hindi film debut with Aadhaar, added, “I am looking forward to the theatrical release of Aadhaar. I have been extremely intrigued by the idea of Aadhaar, a wonderful concept. We have used humor to address certain aspects that people will definitely relate to.”
Aadhaar premiered in Busan International Film Festival in October last year. It was set to release in December initially but was pushed due to the pandemic.
