'Tere Bin Laden: Dead or Alive' Movie Trailer: A Satirical Take on Osama's Death

The makers of the upcoming comedy, Tere Bin Laden: Dead or Alive, starring Manish Paul and Pradhuman Singh, have released the film's first trailer. The satirical film is the second instalment of the hit Tere Bin Laden and is a spoof on Osama Bin Laden's death as well as on America's war against terror.

The released trailer for Tere Bin Laden: Dead or Alive suggests that the feature will be an unhinged take on how the U.S. government claimed to have killed the most-wanted terrorist of all time but there was no actual evidence to prove to the entire world that he was actually dead.

The first part in the franchise, Tere Bin Laden (Without You Laden), was released in 2010 and was written and directed by Abhishek Sharma. Famous Pakistani pop singer and Bollywood actor, Ali Zafar was in the lead who played the role of an ambitious young reporter, who, in his desperation to migrate to the USA, makes a fake Laden video using a look-alike, and sells it to TV channels.

According to MenXp, the film earned $736,500 and was declared an average grosser at the box office.

Tere Bin Laden: Dead or Alive is directed by Sharma and will show how the CIA hired a Bollywood director (Paul) to make a movie on how the U.S. government actually killed Laden (Singh). But as the trailer goes on, one understands that the real motive of the CIA would be to shoot the actor, who is portraying Laden on camera, and eventually turn it into an evidence to show the U.S. citizens that Laden is actually dead.

The film is not exactly a sequel to the first part but one can consider it as a spin-off to the movie. In an interview with Zee News India, Sharma mentioned that Zafar will have a special cameo in the second part.

"After Osama's death what all happens with President Barack Obama and with the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan and also the problems that Manish and Pradhuman face because of it, is what the film is all about," Sharma said.

The movie is slated to release on Feb. 19.
