So, the trailer for Tanhaji: The Unsung Hero has dropped on World Toilet Day. (How's that for subliminal messaging?) youtube.com/watch?v=cffAGIYTEH

I wouldn't be surprised if the idea was to coordinate Tanhaji's trailer launch with International Men's Day (also today) since this film is all about defining masculinity as alpha, violent and aggressive. (Yes, I picked this image particularly for the way it's framed, with the cannon as a phallic object in the middle.)

Seeing Saif Ali Khan dressed in black and consorting with Mughal-type folk, you may think he's the evil Muslim villain in Tanhaji (ref: Ranveer Singh's Khalji in Padmaavat). But no, Khan is playing Uday Bhan Rathod, who was apparently taking tips from Leonidas of 300.
