Mumbai, 22nd November, 2017: Sony MAX, the leading Hindi movies channel from Sony Pictures Networks is all set to light up your Sunday with the premiere of light hearted comedy, Poster boys.

While they are busy with their day-to-day problems, their world turns upside down because of one advertisement. They find themselves becoming the 'poster boys' of male sterilisation after their pictures mysteriously appear on a public service ad promoting vasectomy. They are soon subjected to public shaming and face backlash from their own family. The three soon embark on a mission to fight the system that wrongly pronounced them 'sterile' without their consent.

Comments: Bobby Deol: “Poster Boys is a small town movie where I play the character of a school teacher, in my entire career no one has offered me something like this. After four years, I was doing a movie so it was challenging for me to portray the character of a teacher who speaks in pure Hindi. I did a lot of workshops along with Shreyas, this are the benefits of working with an actor-director. This was the second time I was working with an actor-director; first time was with Sunny bhaiya for Dillagi. With Poster Boys, our main aim was to surprise everyone as no one would imagine Sunny Deol to do a movie on nasabandi and that’s what excited him to do this movie.”

Extraaa Shots:  Sunny Deol proposed the idea of Shreyas Talpade directing themovie  Poster Boys is Sunny Deol’s fastest film to be shot till date, the movie was wrapped in 37 days, 3-4 days in advance as per the schedule with few extra days in hand  Shreyas Talpade was shooting for both Poster Boys and Again at the same time.
