Daayra teaser: Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran play the role of cops
Kareena and Prithviraj will be seen portraying police officers, as hinted by their appearances in uniform in the teaser. The plot suggests they may cross the line to uncover the truth and solve a complex case.
The film revolves around a high-stakes investigation, with scenes hinting at crime, law enforcement and courtroom-drama as the cruz. While the makers have kept the plot under wraps, the newly released footage points to an intense narrative centred on themes of justice and accountability.
The film is inspired by true events. Prithviraj Sukumaran brings emotional depth, gut-punch intensity and nuance to a story rooted in real-world complexities, while Meghna Gulzar once again crafts a gripping exploration of crime, justice and punishment.
Sharing the teaser, Kareena Kapoor wrote, "This one is for the books... Raw and unseen. A sneak peek behind the scenes of DAAYRA."
The film marks the first on-screen collaboration between Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Written by Yash Keswani, Sima Agarwal and Meghna Gulzar, the film is produced by Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios.
Kareena, who has completed more than 25 years in the Hindi film industry, continues to remain one of Bollywood's leading stars. Over the years, she has balanced commercial entertainers with performance-driven projects, constantly reinventing herself through diverse roles.
Prithviraj is regarded as one of Malayalam cinema's most versatile actors. He has earned appreciation for his performances across genres in films such as Jana Gana Mana and The Goat Life.
