National award-winning filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar is all set to make his comeback as his much-awaited movie Babli Bouncer's trailer was released on Monday. Starring Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead role, the multi-lingual actress will be portraying one of the strongest characters in her Bollywood career. Jointly produced by Fox Star Studios and Junglee Pictures, Babli Bouncer will be released on September 23 directly on Disney Plus Hostar. Going by Babli Bouncer's trailer, Tamannah Bhatia will be seen portraying a literally 'strong' character as she will be seen playing the character of a 'female bouncer'. Madhur Bhandarkar is known for making movies in the 'serious' genre, however, this time the National Winning director is breaking the stereotype with Babli Bouncer. Now, the question arises whether Babli Bouncer is a true story or Babli Bouncer is a real story or not.

The answer to this question is no. Although Babli Bouncer is set in the real ‘bouncer town' of North India – Asola Fatepur, the character of Tamannaah Bhatia is a fictional one. Talking about Babli bouncer true story of Asola Fatepur, the village is situated in the South Delhi district of Delhi, India. Asola Fatepur is famous for Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary which is near Fatehpur Beri Village. However, the town is widely famous for a unique reason and is even regarded as one of the strongest cities in India (healthwise). Asola Fatepur is famously known as 'Bouncer Town'.

As per CNN's 2014 report, Asola Fatepur is considered 'strongest' as for the past many years (in fact generations), men of the village get indulged in two-hour workouts every morning and evening in this countryside community on the southern rim of Delhi. In fact, from children to men nearing their 50s, everyone performs exercise. Furthermore, the bodybuilders sweat it out at one of the most popular training spots, Akhada, which is a Hindi word that means wrestling arena. Vijay Tanwar who was reportedly the first bouncer of the village was quoted by the website saying that he started the trend in the 'bouncer town'. Furthermore, the majority of the bodybuilders of Asola-Fatehpur Beri work as bouncers in New Delhi’s clubs and bars.

With Babli Bouncer all set to release on Disney Plus Hotstar, Tamannaah will be hoping to resurrect her Bollywood career, as she is the main character of the movie. With the presence of Madhur Bhandarkar as Director, Tamannaah indeed can make her 'much-deserved' name in Bollywood.
