Salman Khan's niece, Alizeh Agnihotri, is all set to make her Bollywood debut with the movie 'Farrey. The teaser had set the stage for a story centred around an exam-cheating racket. Now, the exciting trailer has finally dropped, with Salman Khan putting out all the stops to promote his niece's debut.
On Wednesday, November 1, the makers of Farrey unveiled its first official trailer in a special press conference before it went out on social media. The 2-minute trailer features Alizeh Agnihotri in the lead. She plays the part of a 'studious' student who is on a journey to pursue her dreams at a renowned, expensive school. Alizeh is seen battling class differences, cheating, parties, and forming new friendships!
As the trailer goes on, the protagonist's life takes a turn when it snowballs into scary challenges. Alizeh is seen getting entangled in the world of cheating and earning money through illicit behaviour.
During the press conference, Salman Khan faced a variety of questions. These questions covered a range of topics, including how he felt watching his niece make her debut, the potential difficulties she might encounter as a newcomer since the 'actors we have grown up on are still ruling the roost', and whether he had any advice for her. Upon being asked this question, Salman said, "I think the kind of films that we're making are going off. As far as films doing well, all the films that you have grown up on, their films, I think the rest of the guys should do Hindi films, Hindustani content, make Indian films."

Elaborating on whether it is the wrong time to debut, he said, "Wrong. There was Salman Khan in Maine Pyaar Kiya, Aamir Khan in Qayamat se Qayamat..he was a newcomer; there was Shah Rukh Khan in Deewana, Ajay Devgn in Phool aur Kaata, and Akshay Kumar in Khiladi, so everyone has come that way. Now from here, depending on the film, her destiny will not be related to the destiny of the film. If it does a fantastic job, and after that, she gets complacent, Khalas! If it does okay and she works 10x harder, then she will come up."
Salman Khan also opened up about the heavy training the young cast faced during the making of the film: "When we finalised the script, we liked it then only. What they have made after this, the way the director sab ne 'inlogo ko nichoda ha' (put them through the wringer)."He went on to recount his set visits, saying, "Life mein itna kaam na kar sakta hu" (I can't work this much in my whole life)"
The cast of 'Farrey' includes Sahil Mehta, Zeyn, and Prasanna Bisht. The film is helmed by Soumendra Padhi and jointly produced by Salman Khan Films, Mythri Movie Makers, and Athena. The movie will grace the big screens on November 24.
