The first trailer of Sunny Deol's Mohalla Assi surfaced on the internet three years ago. It was clear from the video that a lot of people will be furious watching it. And so they were. The trailer was removed from YouTube, the release of the film was stayed by the court and FIR was registered against the makers and the actors in Bihar. Now, after winning the legal battle Mohalla Assi trailer is back on YouTube.

The movie begins with a barrage of cuss words hurled by actors including Sunny Deol and Sakshi Tanwar. It is a little unsettling to see these two actors, behaving so unlike we have ever seen them before. But once you get the tone of the film, it is really fun to watch. The comical tone, although, goes for a toss when the tension arises in the trailer.

Mohalla Assi trailer reminds us that the movie will also deal with politically charged issues such as the Ayodhya Verdict. The movie will also shed some light on how religion has been turned into a business by some in the holy city of Varanasi. The story of Mohalla Assi is loosely based on Dr. Kashi Nath Singh's popular Hindi satirical novel 'Kashi Ka Assi'.

Mohalla Assi has been directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, who has previously made the critically acclaimed, Pinjar. The movie will release in theatres on November 16.
