Looop Lapeta trailer: Taapsee Pannu, Tahir Raj Bhasin caught in an endless loop in this punchy Netflix thriller
]
Taapsee Pannu and Tahir Raj Bhasin, on Thursday, shared the first trailer of their upcoming Netflix film Looop Lapeta. The film is a remake of Tom Tykwer’s 1998 cult classic German movie, Run Lola Run. It featured actors Franka Potente and Moritz Bleibtreu in the lead roles.
The trailer introduces us to Taapsee’s character Savi and her lover Satya, played by Tahir. From the look of it, Looop Lapeta seems to be an entertaining film where a girlfriend (Taapsee) is on a mission to save her boyfriend (Tahir). She has to collect Rs 50 lakh in 50 minutes to save her ‘useless’ boyfriend who gets entangled in the web of gambling. She is stuck in a time loop and gets multiple chances to save his life. The film also stars Shreya Dhanwanthary and Dibyendu Bhattacharya among others.

For Tahir, Looop Lapeta will be “one crazy rollercoaster of an entertainer”. He feels the film presents a fresh take on romance as she said in a statement, “The film is a clutter breaking take on new age romance, and a genre I am exploring for the first time. I can’t wait for the world to meet the characters Satya and Savi. Our director has a unique style stamp that has created a visually stunning world where thrill and comedy combine for one crazy rollercoaster of an entertainer.”
Taapsee, who was reluctant about signing Looop Lapeta when she began listening to the script, had a lot of fun while making the film. She said, “This compelling story was extremely enjoyable to make along with my director, Aakash and co-star, Tahir. I cannot wait for fans and audiences to watch this edge-of-the seat film and enjoy it as much as we loved making it.”
Produced by Sony Pictures Films India, Ellipsis Entertainment and Aayush Maheshwari, Looop Lapeta was earlier scheduled to hit the screens in January 2021 but it got delayed due to the pandemic. Directed by Aakash Bhatia, the film will now start streaming on Netflix from February 4.

As we have already stepped into 2022, the cinematic world has a lot to offer to its audience. From action movies to intense shows, this year is going to be a blissful one for the movie buffs. For this weekend, Netflix is offering its new thriller Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein. When you have talented actors like Tahir Raj Bhasin and Shweta Tripathi on board, you can surely expect a roller-coaster ride.
When the teaser was dropped, people were looking forward to watching the show. As per the trailer and teaser, it’s a twisted love story with underlying themes of an identity crisis, fate, and a cobweb of lies. It starts like a normal love story but soon turns into a thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Bhasin plays Vikrant, a simple man who falls for fellow college student Shikha (Shweta), who reciprocates his love. Enters his childhood friend Purva (Anchal Singh) who is crazily in love with Vikrant and can go to any level to get him.
Here’s the trailer:
The official synopsis of the thriller reads, “A romantic simpleton, Vikrant, becomes an object of desire for Purva, who will go to any lengths to get him. As Purva’s ruthless efforts to make him hers begin to destroy all that he holds dear, the mild-mannered Vikrant finds a new side to him emerging. In order to escape Purva’s clutches and reclaim his life with his true love, Shikha, he goes down a dark path only to regret it later in this pulpy thriller.”
Set in the fictional town of Onkara, the psychological drama also features Saurabh Shukla, Surya Sharma, Brijendra Kala, Arunoday Singh, Anant Joshi, Sunita Rajwar, and Hetal Gada.
The show has finally been released and has been streaming on the OTT giant from 14th of January. We saw the show way before it was released and we had mixed opinions about the show as it had the potential but it did lose its track. It’s surely watchable as the actors have done a brilliant job at the part but it’s the writing that either breaks or makes it. The show had all the components of making it a hit but the second half lost its grip and never got back on track. What didn’t work for us was the climax. We will not take away the fact that filmmaker Siddharth Sengupta did understand the twisted Shakespearean plot and showed how obsession can ruin lives.
As people have also watched the show, they too have mixed reactions. A few felt that it was like the same old drama and others hailed the show. They loved the performances and are looking forward to watching the next part.
Here are the reactions:

Is Tahir Raj Bhasin-starrer Ranjish Hi Sahi Mahesh Bhatt’s biopic? Actor answers | Exclusive
]
As we enter the third semi-lockdown phase, OTT shows have again become our best friend. The year 2022 is going to see some mind-blowing releases on the digital platform. Bollywood actor Tahir Raj Bhasin is also looking forward to 2022 as the actor takes on romantic roles, one after the other.
Tahir, who will be seen next in Voot Select’s Ranjish Hi Sahi, spoke to us exclusively about his character, Shankar, and answered the burning question: Is Ranjish Hi Sahi, Mahesh Bhatt’s biopic?
IS RANJISH HI SAHI, MAHESH BHATT’S BIOPIC?
Set to premiere on Voot Select on January 13, Ranjish Hi Sahi is created by Mahesh Bhatt, produced by Mukesh Bhatt and Jio Studios. Since the trailer release, fans have been curious to know if the show is a biopic of Mahesh Bhatt himself. The show is about a film director who gets into an extra-marital affair with a superstar in 70s Bollywood.
In an exclusive interview with IndiaToday.in, Tahir, who plays the role of the director, answered if the show is really a Mahesh Bhatt biopic.
He said that the web series is definitely not a biopic, but at the same time, it is based on the life of Mahesh Bhatt. He told us, “I think comparisons were bound to happen when Mahesh Bhatt is the creative producer. But I can definitely assure you that it is not a biopic. It is inspired by his life experiences, but at the same time, it is a work of fiction. Let me stress the fact that it is a work of fiction. Because, Shankar, my character does not in any way look, act or behave like the person whose biopic people are assuming it to be. There are a lot of dramatic liberties that have been taken and are in no way based on reality. It would be untrue to call it a biopic.”
HOW WAS IT WORKING WITH MAHESH BHATT?
When asked what it was like working with Mahesh Bhatt, Tahir revealed that the director often shared experiences from real life. He told us, “He had a wealth of information. I think when a man comes with decades of experience, there is this wisdom and patience he comes on set with. He would tell us philosophical stories, stories about projects he has worked on. Since I am playing a 70s director, he was like a template to follow. He was willing to add the Mahesh Bhatt magic to the series.”
WHAT’S IN THE KITTY FOR TAHIR?
Talking about his upcoming projects, Tahir said that he is excited about 2022 as he will be seen in romantic roles as opposed to the villain characters we usually saw him in. He told us, “I am really excited that the year is opening with Ranjish Hi Sahi because it is going to show me in a different light, it will allow me to show a different aspect of my talent. This will be my first foray into the romantic genre. I have conventionally done bad-boy parts, college stud, 83 more recently, which was a sports drama. Playing a role in a romantic drama is going to be a challenge.”
He then told us that he will next be seen in the Netflix series Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen, and opposite Taapsee Pannu in Looop Lapeta.
Ranjish Hi Sahi is all set to release on Voot Select on January 13.
