He said, "Hero tha isliye do life jee raha tha, ek parde par aur ek asal zindagi mein. Usne aakar dono ke beech ka dhaga kheench diya. Romantic hero hota to naach ga kr nipta deta, but mujhe ladna padega dost. Dikkat bas ek i hai, mujhe ladne ki acting aati hai, ladna nahi. " (He was a hero, due to which he was living two different reel and real lives. He came and pulled the string in between the two. If I were a romance hero, it must have been easy for him, but I will have to fight. There is only one problem, I can only act but not fight.)

The teaser further saw several animations of a man jumping over buildings and hanging on Big Ben. It also saw Ayushmann's poster on Piccadilly Circus. Sharing the teaser, Ayushmann Khurrana wrote, "Super excited for a genre-breaking collab ONCE AGAIN with @Aanandlrai and Bhushan Kumar! This one’s special!". The film would mark Ayushmann's first venture in the action genre.
