High on entertainment quotient, the trailer of "Chennai Express", which came out Thursday, is a mix of action, humour and romance and the film promises to entertain movie buffs thoroughly when it hits the screens Aug 8.
An expert in making rib-tickling comedies, Rohit Shetty, who has directed fun films like "Golmaal" and "Singham", has set the story in a south Indian backdrop highlighting their culture, with lead actress Deepika Padukone taking the cake with that typical accent.
The actress, who pairs with Shah Rukh Khan for the second time after her 2007 debut movie "Om Shanti Om", also looks beautiful as a South Indian girl.
Even SRK's character adds an element of comedy in it and has a lot of action, including flying cars.
If in "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" Shah Rukh had to play a character much younger to his age, in this film his character is a 40-year-old guy.
In the trailer, the background score sounds powerful and impressive.
The film has been produced by Red Chillies.
