The sports comedy drama Jaadugar (2022), starring Panchayat (Season 2) actor Jitendra Kumar, is due to be premiered on Netflix on 15 July.

Produced by Posham Pa Pictures and directed by Sameer Saxena, the upcoming film also features Javed Jaaferi and Arushi Sharma. Jaadugar was originally titled Love Goals.

Set in the football-loving town of Neemuch, the film follows a small-time magician, Meenu (Jitendra), with no athletic skill who must prove his worth in a prestigious inter-colony football tournament, in order to marry the love of his life, played by Sharma. Except she doesn’t love him back and his team hasn’t won a game in years! Friendships are tested and hearts are mended as love meets magic in this heart-warming sports comedy.

Director-producer, Saxena shared, “Jaadugar is our attempt is to present a completely fresh take on sports and romance. With magic as another key element in the film, we have tried to tell a story that’s high on entertainment and caters to an extremely wide audience. With Netflix as our partner, we hope that the love with which we have made the film translates on screens across the globe.’’

Amit Golani and Saurabh Khanna of Posham Pa Pictures said, “Posham Pa Pictures is extremely excited about its debut film Jaadugar, a light-hearted tale set in a small town. The story is up the alley of Sameer Saxena (director), Biswapati Sarkar (writer) and Jitendra Kumar (actor). The trio, with lots of successful works to its credit, has come together the first time for a film. Association with a global platform like Netflix has enhanced the canvass of the film and Posham Pa is thrilled to see its debut work featured at the service.”

Writer-producer Biswapati Sarkar stated that Jaadugar is a unique concoction of love, magic, and football. "It is a wholesome entertainer, meant to be seen with your loved ones. Unlike sports films that revere elite athletes, Jaadugar celebrates everyday individuals who play sports, not for pride or fame, but only for the love of the game,” he said.

The announcement video for the film shows Jitendra decked up as a magician as he tries to cast some sort of spell. The sport of football has yet to make its appearance.
