The Poster: Sunny Deol in Action
The striking first look shows an intense Sunny Deol in full soldier gear, aiming a bazooka at unseen enemies while shouting in defiance. The backdrop features a fierce gunfight, with several soldiers proudly holding the Indian National Flag an image reminiscent of photographs taken after the 1999 Kargil War, where soldiers posed with the tricolour in victory.
