New 'Dayraa' poster teases Kareena-Prithviraj face-off ahead of Sept 18 release
With four days to go, a new poster from Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran's 'Dayraa' shows the two as rival police officers
Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor and actor Prithviraj Sukumaran's much-awaited film 'Dayraa' is set to release in theatres on September 18. With just four days left for release, a new poster of the film has surfaced, adding to the buzz around it.
The new poster shows both Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran as police officers, hinting at a fight for justice and the struggle of an investigation. This has heightened curiosity about the kind of thriller 'Dayraa' will turn out to be.
'Dayraa' marks the first time Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran will share the screen together, so expectations from the pairing are high. In the new poster, Kareena Kapoor plays DCP Ajoony Kohli, while Prithviraj Sukumaran plays DCP Raman Kumar.
The poster shows the two characters standing face to face, raising the question of whether the two officers will clash in their pursuit of justice. Not much has been revealed about the film's story so far, but the poster does give a sense of its tense atmosphere.
Kareena Kapoor shared the new 'Dayraa' poster on her social media account, along with a caption pointing to the conflict between justice and truth: "When every answer gives rise to another question, where does the boundary of justice finally end?" The caption has further fuelled audience curiosity about the film's story.
'Dayraa' will release in theatres in Hindi and Malayalam on September 18. As the release date nears, promotion of the film has also picked up pace.
Directed by Meghna Gulzar, 'Dayraa' is said to be inspired by several real-life incidents. The story revolves around an encounter that takes place after a rape case, bringing serious themes such as crime, investigation, justice and the law into the film.
In the film, Kareena Kapoor plays a special investigation officer, while Prithviraj Sukumaran plays an encounter specialist. Because of this, the clash between the two characters is likely to be a key part of the film.
'Dayraa' has been made under the banners of Jungle Pictures and Pen Studios. The film is drawing special attention due to National Award winning director Meghna Gulzar, as well as the first on-screen pairing of Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
Following the new poster, excitement among fans is visible on social media, with many saying they are looking forward to the film's release. It remains to be seen how audiences respond to this story of the fight for justice once 'Dayraa' releases on September 18.
