The much-awaited trailer of Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor’s upcoming film, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui was released yesterday, November 8 and people are loving the vibe of it. It’s not your usual love story as it’s a gender-bending romance. While entertaining the audience, it also raises an important issue. The movie stars Ayushmann as fitness trainer Manvinder Munjal who is training for a weightlifting championship and Vaani Kapoor as a Zumba instructor he falls in love with.

Here’s the trailer:

Ayushmann is basically your typical 'gym bro’ who wants to make it big before he finally decides to get married. However, his ideology of not falling in love changes when he meets Maanvi Brar played by Vaani. Unfortunately, things go downhill for Manvinder when he gets to know Maanvi is a trans woman.

Well, the movie is trying to initiate a dialogue but while watching the trailer again, we realized that it has also given us a glimpse of the stereotypical men we have met in our lives through Ayushmann’s character.

When we first see him in the trailer, we get a fair idea that he is a typical ‘gym guy' who’s obsessed with his workout and does it in a particular fashion. He is also into showing off his muscles and knows that he wants to make a career in fitness. Let’s not deny the fact that we haven’t come across such guys in our gym. Ayushmann has perfectly lifted the mannerisms and we are truly impressed.

If you are a woman reading this article, you would totally agree with the fact that there are men who cannot stop staring when you hit the gym floor. They can totally make you feel uncomfortable with their stares. In the trailer too, you get a glimpse of how men in the gym are looking at Vaani.

In one of the scenes, you get to see Ayushmann’s mother pampering him and you realize at that very moment that he is someone who is completely spoilt by the comfortable life at home. While making him eat parathas to take care of his diet, we get to see a typical Punjabi ‘maa’ with her son.

In the trailer, you also get to see how Ayushmann is refusing to accept the fact that he's fallen in love with a trans woman. Sadly, he also wants her to be in love with him but his male ego and societal conditioning prevents him from accepting that.
