Talking about the movie, producer-actor, Sonu Sood said, “My character in Tutak Tutak Tutiya is different from what I have been doing so far. I am used to doing action sequences but my character in this film was quite simple. Being a producer and actor at the same time is difficult but creatively satisfying. I have learnt a lot while working on the film.”

A perfect family entertainer Tutak Tutak Tutiya revolves around Krishna (Prabhu Deva), who wants to get married to a modern, open minded city girl. A visit to his paternal home in Tamil Nadu crushes his dream as he is forcibly married off to Devi (Tamannah). She is a naïve villager who does not match any of Krishna’s parameters. Back in Mumbai, the newly married couple rent an apartment without realizing that it was previously leased by an aspiring actor Ruby who had committed suicide. Things take a hysterical turn when Krishna starts noticing the drastic personality changes in his wife who now in her uber-cool avatar addresses herself as ‘Ruby’. Catching the fancy of the superstar Raj Khanna (Sonu Sood), Ruby finally gets a chance to fulfill her unfinished dream – to star in a movie.

Will Krishna be able to get rid of Ruby and get his beloved wife Devi back?

Inspired from real life incidents, the film is directed by Tinu Suresh Desai and produced by Neeraj Pandey. The film stars the handsome Akshay Kumar in the lead role, along with Ileana D’Cruz, Arjan Bajwa and Esha Gupta playing vital characters in the movie. The movie touches upon various stories including exposing the politics of Indian navy, a love story, a thrilling murder mystery and a rollercoaster of emotions.

Known for his love for uniform and the Indian Military Forces, Akshay Kumar has been a part of around 20 films where he has donned the uniform look, including Rustom. On the occasion of Republic Day, the actor, who shot for Rustom on an Indian Navy Warship said, “I salute the Indian Navy who stays on the ship for 6 months. It is very difficult to walk on the ship. I had to walk bending my back as the height of the walk-ways is not much. But despite all this, our naval officers are agile and carry out all the activities so efficiently. I am thankful that we got the permission to shoot on a warship, it was indeed a great opportunity.”

The story of Rustom revolves around the Indian Naval Officer Rustom Pavri (Akshay Kumar) and his wife Cynthia (Ileana D’Cruz), who are happily married. One day, Rustom returns home and surprises his wife Cynthia. He discovers his friend Vikarm Makhija’s (Arjan Bajwa) love letters in Cynthia’s wardrobe and leaves his home to confront them. His next step creates a stir in everyone’s life, when he rushes to Vikram’s bedroom and the servants hear three gun shots. They find Vikram’s body in a pool of blood and Rustom walks away without saying a word. What follows is a legal battle in which Rustom surrenders himself but halfway through the hearing, he decides to fight back. Vikram’s sister Priti (Esha Gupta) hires the best lawyers to ensure Rustom is charged for the murder.

Was it a premeditated murder or an act of self-defense?
