In Batti Gul Meter Chalu, Shahid Kapoor fights against the issue of power thefts, after his friend commits suicide unable to pay the huge electricity bill levied on him. Speaking about the film, Shahid Kapoor in an interview to IANS said: "I don't think this film isn't a mainstream film. I think it's an extremely mainstream film. I think issues don't make a film non-mainstream. It's the take on the issue, which makes a film non-mainstream. If this film had some serious title then this film's tonality would have been different and its reach would have been slightly limited."
Batti Gul Meter Chalu is directed by Shree Narayan Singh and Bhushan Kumar produces it. The film also stars Yami Gautam and Sameer Soni. Batti Gul Meter Chalu will hit the theatres on September 21.
