The trailer of Rajkummar Rao’s upcoming dark comedy, Toaster was unveiled by the makers on Saturday, April 4, 2025. Directed by Vivek Das Chaudhary, the film also stars Sanya Malhotra, Archana Puran Singh, Abhishek Banerjee, Farah Khan, Upendra Limaye, Vinod Rawat, Jitendra Joshi and Seema Pahwa.
The trailer introduces Rajkummar as Ramakant, an endearing hustler, who is obsessive about saving his money. Ramakant tries thrifting to a new level, whether its getting money from everyday situations or refusing to let go of anything he has spent on. He gifts a toaster in a wedding gift and when he comes to know that it has been dumped to waste, Ramakant sets out to retrieve it, leading to messy situations for him and everyone around him. The film promises to be a quirky dark comedy with lot of surprises and twists.
Toaster marks the first of Rajkummar and Patralekha as a producer. Speaking about it, Rajkummar said in a statement, “What really drew me to Toaster was how something so small can completely take over a person’s mind. Ramakant is someone who genuinely believes he’s doing the right thing. He doesn’t see his actions as extreme, he sees them as practical. But that’s exactly what makes the journey so unpredictable. It’s a story that comes from a very real place, and watching that sincerity spiral into chaos is what makes the film both engaging and entertaining.”
Toaster has been written by Parveez Shaikh, Akshat Ghildial and Anagh Mukerjee. It will be released on Netflix on April 15.
