New Delhi, Mar 22 (UNI) What do you call a group of pranksters…Fukras!

To take the audience on a laughter riot and ensure that the day is packed with fun and entertainment, Zee Cinema, has declared Sunday, April 1 as 'Fukra’s Day' as the channel airs the World Television Premiere of 'Fukrey Returns' at 2000 hrs.

Directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, the movie stars Richa Chadda, Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, Ali Fazal and Manjot Singh in lead roles.



To promote the World Television Premiere of 'Fukrey Returns', Richa Chadda and Varun Sharma visited the national capital where the movie was shot and made an appearance at the Delhi Zoo and celebrated 'Bijli' ka birthday.

'Bijli', is the same tiger in the film who helps the Fukrey gang find treasure worth Rs 10 crore!



Richa Chadda said, “I had lots of fun portraying the character of Bholi Punjaban. It’s completely opposite to my personality which made it even more exciting. She is like a wounded tigress. Speaking of which, we visited the Delhi zoo to celebrate Bijli ka birthday. Bijli helped us find treasure worth Rs 10 crore in the movie, so we owed her one. I am from Delhi so chidiyaghar is my favourite childhood hangout place. My school is very close to it, so we would come here all the time.”



Actor Varun Sharma said, “Today we are here to celebrate the birthday of Bijli who helped us Fukras find the jackpot. It was like meeting an old friend. I should thank the team at Zee Cinema for giving Richa and me this unique opportunity. The idea is not just to celebrate Bijli’s birthday but also to raise awareness. Tigers are now endangered species and I would sincerely urge everyone to stop hunting animals and save the nature.”



The movie 'Fukrey Returns' which made a whopping Rs 100 crore at the box office picks up a year later from where it ended.
