'Runaway Lugaai', directed by Avinash Das, is launching on MX Player on May 18! If you're waiting for something fun to watch, begin the countdown for MX Player's Runaway Lugaai! The trailer of the show, which features Naveen Kasturia, Ruhi Singh, Sanjay Mishra and Ravi Kishan, Aarya Babbar, Chittaranjan Tripathy in key roles, is out now, and gives a glimpse into the fun vibe of the upcoming show.
Runaway Lugaai, produced by Aarrav Jindal under his banner Euphoria Productions, is directed by Avinash Das of Swara Bhaskar-starrer Anaarkali of Aarah fame. In the show, set in the heartland India, actor Naveen, who has proven his acting acumen in a variety of streaming shows, will be seen in the role of Rajnikant Sinha aka Rajni. Rajni is far from the flamboyant image of his namesake, the megastar Rajnikanth.
He's a character who believes in justice, who ends up being the pawn in the hands of corrupt system and his father, essayed by the inimitable Sanjay Mishra. Ruhi Singh, a former Miss India runner-up who featured in Madhur Bhandarkar's Calendar Girls, essays the role of Bulbul, a desi, free-spirited girl and eccentric girl who turns a runaway bride post her wedding, in this entertainer, which will premiere on MX Player on May 18.

Producer Aarav Jindal says, "We are happy to bring a show like Runaway Lugaai, which traces the humorous and heartwarming journey of Rajni in not just finding his 'lugaai', but also goes to through a fun roller coaster ride which changes his life forever. The audience needs a bout of laughter in these tough times and we hope we can do our bit in spreading some cheer through our show."
Director Avinash Das says, "Every director has a certain style, but I feel the real challenge lies in telling different stories differently. For me, Runaway Lugaai has turned out to be project that stands apart from my recent works. I quite enjoyed bringing alive a story which has entertainment, politics, law, corruption and human emotions all rolled into one. I had a great team of actors who have added their own quirks and dimension to the characters in a delightful way." Avinash's recent works include film Raat Baaki Hai and the gripping series She.
