Director Anubhav Sinha, who had previously made the stylish Sanjay Dutt-Abhishek Bachchan starrer Dus and Shah Rukh Khan's superhero movie Ra.One, is all set to make a riveting courtroom drama. Mulk stars Rishi Kapoor and Taapsee Pannu in the lead, with Rajat Kapoor and Ashutosh Rana in supporting roles. We are hoping that this would be another excellent turn from Rishi Kapoor, after that scintillating performance in this year's 102 Not Out.

The first teaser of Mulk has arrived and it promises an engaging series of courtroom events. Rishi Kapoor plays a veteran accused of treason, and coming to his defence is Taapsee Pannu's defense lawyer. Ashutosh Rana plays the prosecution lawyer. It is a good change for Taapsee to be defending someone after being an accused in PINK, another interesting courtroom drama that came out in 2016.

In an earlier interview, director Anubhav Sinha had this to say about Mulk, "Mulk is a story that happened to me one afternoon here in the office in May last year. I just had a one-line idea and I shared it with my friends and they loved it too. But we felt very strongly about the film and knew it was going to be tough to set the film up in terms of casting it and in terms of raising finances.”

Mulk is scheduled to release on August 3, that already has Fanney Khan and Karwaan coming out on the same date.
