Runaway Lugaai, produced by Aarrav Jindal under his banner Euphoria Productions, is directed by Avinash Das of Swara Bhaskar-starrer Anaarkali of Aarah fame. In the show, set in the heartland India, actor Naveen, who has proven his acting acumen in a variety of streaming shows, will be seen in the role of Rajnikant Sinha aka Rajni. Rajni is far from the flamboyant image of his namesake, the megastar Rajnikanth.

He's a character who believes in justice, who ends up being the pawn in the hands of corrupt system and his father, essayed by the inimitable Sanjay Mishra. Ruhi Singh, a former Miss India runner-up who featured in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Calendar Girls, essays the role of Bulbul, a desi, free-spirited girl and eccentric girl who turns a runaway bride post her wedding, in this entertainer, which will premiere on MX Player on May 18.

Producer Aarav Jindal says, "We are happy to bring a show like Runaway Lugaai, which traces the humorous and heartwarming journey of Rajni in not just finding his 'lugaai', but also goes to through a fun roller coaster ride which changes his life forever. The audience needs a bout of laughter in these tough times and we hope we can do our bit in spreading some cheer through our show."

Director Avinash Das says, "Every director has a certain style, but I feel the real challenge lies in telling different stories differently. For me, Runaway Lugaai has turned out to be project that stands apart from my recent works. I quite enjoyed bringing alive a story which has entertainment, politics, law, corruption and human emotions all rolled into one. I had a great team of actors who have added their own quirks and dimension to the characters in a delightful way.” Avinash’s recent works include film Raat Baaki Hai and the gripping series She.
