Himatej‏ @himatej7: Sir, is it completed version of teaser or just temporary graphics version? Please reply sir.

Karanshan: Its just a director version. Vfx works not completed yet that"s why there is lot of green/blue screens used. As per news from #Lyca the movie is only rlz in 3D. Then there wil be no piracy issue.
