On World Aids Day, ZEE5 revealed the title of its upcoming original movie, Chhatriwali. The film will be released on the platform in the first few months of 2023. It will be directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar and produced by Ronnie Screwvala. Chhatriwali which stars Rakul Preet Singh and Sumeet Vyas in key roles, attempts to send a clear societal message on the value of male contraceptives and safe sex. And what better day than World Aids Day to emphasize the importance of sexual education?

Rakul Preet Singh stars in Chhatriwali a Haryana-based slice-of-life movie, as the quality control manager of a condom manufacturer. Even though she was nervous and embarrassed about her job at first, she quickly learned how important safe sex was and decided to talk about sex education without shame. While keeping the story engaging and family-friendly, the movie establishes the mood and delivers the message with sensitivity and humour.

Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 India, said in a statement that after the success of two ground-breaking movies like Helmet and Janhit Mein Jaari they are thrilled to present Chhatriwali, which tackles the taboo topic of sex education in a forward-thinking and enjoyable way. The movie makes a strong point on the value of sex education while maintaining humour and tact. With a mix of a social message, a strong female character, humour, nuance, and a lot of drama, Chhatriwali is sure to entertain and educate the audience.

RSVP Movies producer Ronnie Screwvala loves to back movies with strong female leads and important stories, and Chhatriwali is just that. To mainstream conversations about sex education and safe sex without coming off as preachy, they created a mass family entertainer with a significant message. Because the film is so powerful, it can tell interesting stories that keep people's attention and teach them something.

Rakul Preet Singh says every one of her films has been meaningful, but Chhatriwali is especially important for a number of reasons. She is finally getting to star in a movie after working in this industry for so long, and what movie could be more fun with such a socially conscious theme? In honour of World Aids Day, the actor promotes her upcoming film, Chhatriwali which will emphasise the importance of male contraception and safe sex.
