With just days to go for its theatrical release, The India Story has sharpened its campaign with a new poster that does more than tease a film, it underlines a public health fear hiding in plain sight. Starring Kajal Aggarwal and Shreyas Talpade, the latest visual pushes the conversation around pesticide farming to the forefront, framing the film as a hard-hitting social drama rooted in an issue that touches every household.
Directed by Chettan DK and written and produced by Sagar B. Shinde, The India Story is presented by Zee Studios in association with MIG Production & Studios. The film will release worldwide in theatres on July 24, 2026, in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil, positioning itself as a mainstream release with a pointed real-world concern at its core.
New Poster Brings The Film’S Warning Into Focus
The newly unveiled poster carries a stark, uneasy energy that aligns closely with the film’s central theme. Rather than leaning on generic suspense, the design appears built to spotlight the silent dangers linked to excessive pesticide use in agriculture and the long-term consequences such practices can leave behind. With Kajal Aggarwal and Shreyas Talpade occupying the emotional center of the artwork, the campaign makes it clear that The India Story wants to provoke thought as much as anticipation.
Speaking about the film’s message, Kajal Aggarwal said, “The India Story is a film that carries an important message for every household. What drew me to the project was its courage to address a subject that directly impacts our daily lives yet often goes unnoticed. I hope the film encourages audiences to think more deeply about the food they consume and the choices they make.”
Shreyas Talpade added, “This story is not just about farming practices; it is about the health and future of generations to come. The new poster reflects the urgency of the issue we are highlighting through the film. We wanted to be part of a project that sparks meaningful conversations, and I believe The India Story has the power to create that awareness among audiences.”
A Social Drama With Food Safety At Its Core
What gives The India Story an immediate edge is the way it connects a broad national concern to something deeply personal: daily food consumption. The film’s premise is centered on exposing the hidden risks of harmful agricultural practices and the impact they can have across generations. That gives the project a distinctly issue-driven identity, one that sets it apart from more conventional promotional rollouts.
The technical team behind the film includes cinematographer Nishant Bhagwat, music composer Mangesh Dhakde, editor Ashish Mhatre, lyricist Shakeel Azami, and sound designer Anmol Bhave. The project is also backed by co-producers Swati Vinayak Saindane, Anita Jadhav, Vinayak Saindane, Kalpesh Shah, Devyani Khorate, and Prem Joshi.
Kajal Aggarwal’s Recent And Upcoming Work
For Kajal Aggarwal, The India Story arrives during a phase where she has been balancing mainstream commercial cinema with more performance-led material. Her recent releases include Bhagavanth Kesari in 2023, alongside Nandamuri Balakrishna, and Satyabhama in 2024, where she took the lead in a crime drama. She is also part of Kannappa and has Indian 3 among her confirmed upcoming projects.
Shreyas Talpade, meanwhile, has continued to move between ensemble entertainers and socially themed stories. His recent work includes Emergency in 2025, and The India Story now adds another issue-based film to his lineup. He also has Azad Bharath among his announced upcoming projects, keeping his slate active across distinct genres.
