Bengaluru, December 23,, 2021: Royal Stag Barrel Select Large Short Films today premiered ‘Aapke aa Jaane Se’. The short film features critically acclaimed actor Manu Rishi Chadha who has been a part of popular Bollywood cult movies like Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye and Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhaan. The Shiladitya Bora directed movie revolves around the life of an under-appreciated, slightly emasculated father of two who is going through the general humdrum of middle-class Indian life. His life takes a complete U-turn when he is unexpectedly thrust into the social media spotlight, making everyone around see him like never before.
