The makers of Guns & Gulaabs released a new teaser earlier on Monday (August 14). The upcoming web series is created by filmmakers Raj and DK, whose previous two OTT projects The Family Man and Farzi were major successes.  The series is all set to release on Friday, August 18.

Rajkummar Rao sings an iconic '90s song in the teaser

In the latest teaser, we see a snippet of an amusing interaction between a mild-mannered teenager and Paana Tipu, played by Rajkummar Rao. When the teenage boy says that he cannot write without a romantic song playing in the background, Rao’s character breaks into a funny impression of Saanson ki Zaroorat, the iconic song from the 1990 film Aashiqui. The makers have stated in several interviews that the series contains multiple pop culture references to the 1980s and 1990s, the time period it is set in.

Besides Rajkummar Rao, the show has Dulquer Salmaan and Gulshan Devaiah in the lead cast. Rao and Devaiah have earlier worked together in the 2020 film Badhaai Do.

The show also features the late Satish Kaushik in a posthumous appearance, besides having actors like Adarsh Gaurav and Shreya Dhanwantary.
