Netflix on Tuesday announced that its sports comedy drama ‘Jaadugar’ will premiere on July 15.

Set in Madhya Pradesh’s football-loving town Neemuch, ‘Jaadugar’ is a story of a small-time magician, Meenu, with no athletic skill who must prove his worth in a prestigious inter-colony football tournament, to marry the love of his life who does not love him.

In this heart-warming sports comedy, friendships are tested and hearts are healed as love meets magic.

Sameer Saxena-directed movie has actors Jitendra Kumar, Javed Jaafery, and Arushi Sharma in lead roles, UNI reported from New Delhi.

The director said, “‘Jaadugar’ is our attempt to present a completely fresh take on sports and romance. With magic as another key element in the film, we have tried to tell a story that’s high on entertainment and caters to an extremely wide audience. With Netflix as our partner, we hope that the love with which we have made the film translates on screens across the globe.”

“Unlike sports films that revere elite athletes, ‘Jaadugar’ celebrates everyday individuals who play sports, not for pride or fame, but only for the love of the game,” writer and producer Biswapati Sarkar pointed out.
