Raj Kundra, husband of Indian actress Shilpa Shetty, the businessman, who is now turned into an actor playing himself in a movie titled UT 69. The trailer of the same was released on Wednesday.

Raj was imprisoned for two months after he was booked for allegedly running a pornography racket. He has been walking around wearing a mask on his face ever since he was released from jail in 2021.

The upcoming film of Shilpa Shetty’s husband, ‘UT69’ will hit the theatres on November 3.

Talking about his debut with UT69, Raj Kundra said Shilpa Shetty’s reaction was initially hesitant but later changed her mind and was rather supportive.

He added that Shilpa was a few feet away from him when he decided to tell her that he was making a film.

“I told her that I had a script and was waiting for her answer. When I turned away from her, a flying chappal came at my face. I think she thought that the idea was a little dicey at first. Maybe she thought that the film wouldn’t get made,” he added.

He also shared Shilpa’s reaction to UT69 and said that she is proud of him.

Raj finds it difficult to adjust to the continual jeering by other inmates and police officers inside the jail because he is no longer only known as Shilpa Shetty’s husband or a “Bigg Boss” participant, the trailer shows.

At one point, Raj, who makes his acting debut in the movie, encounters a situation resembling a stampede. The teaser also depicts the surprising friendships Raj makes while he is imprisoned.

Raj Kundra was arrested in July 2021 on suspicion of making pornographic recordings, and in September of that same year, he was given bail. He was charged with violating pertinent provisions of the Information Technology Act, the Indecent Representation of Women (Prevention Act), and the Indian Penal Code.
