RK/RKay Story and Trailer
On June 30, 2022, the makers of the film released its official trailer. The trailer shows Rajat Kapoor playing as RK, a filmmaker, who is making a new picture in which he also plays the lead role as Mahboob and a high maintenance actress Neha (Mallika Sherawat) is playing his opposite as Gulabo in the film.
The film-within-a-film is a retro tribute to the cinema of the 1960s. When the shooting is finished and editing begins, RK has a strange feeling that the film will not come together, that this time he has really screwed up. His instincts turn-out-to be true as he gets a call from the editing room that something terrible has happened.
