Mumbai: The trailer of Governor starring National Award-winning actor Manoj Bajpayee has been unveiled, offering a glimpse into India’s economic meltdown in 1990.
Directed by Chinmay Mandlekar, the film also stars Adah Sharma and Noushad Mohamed Kunju in lead roles.
The two-minute and fifty-four-second trailer portrays a crucial chapter in India’s economic history, when the country was reportedly on the verge of bankruptcy in 1990. The trailer depicts widespread public outrage during the crisis, including riots, protests and civil unrest across the nation.
Amid the crisis, Manoj Bajpayee’s character, serving as the governor of the Reserve Bank of India, takes key steps to prevent the country from collapsing economically. According to the makers, the film is inspired by true events.
Manoj Bajpayee shared the trailer of the film on his Instagram handle.
The film features lyrics by Javed Akhtar and music composed by Amit Trivedi. Earlier, the makers unveiled the teaser of ‘Governor: The Silent Saviour’, which is inspired by the events surrounding India’s financial crisis during the 1990s. The film is presented by Sunshine Pictures and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah.
Speaking about the project, Vipul Amrutlal Shah said, “On June 12th, my film ‘Governor’ is being released, Manoj Bajpayee is in the lead role… a true story of exactly the same environment that happened in 1990, and a story of how India was saved while almost becoming bankrupt.”
The movie is scheduled to release on 12 June 2026.
