The teaser opens with Varun’s character dressed as Baahubali a la Prabhas, before his friend tells him he looks like ‘Ranveer Singh ki dhoti me Prabhas ka paudha. Varun then clarifies he is not a baahubali, but sanskari Sunny. A montage then introduces us to the rest of the cast – Janhvi in a saree, Sanya on the dance floor, and Rohit Saraf getting his own K3G Shah Rukh helicopter entry.

The short 52-second teaser ends with ‘banter’ between Varun and Janhvi’s characters where she is trying to convince him that she knows what a nightclub is, but he believes she is mistaking a jagran for one. Cue laughs!

Fans have praised Varun returning to comedy, calling it his ‘prime avatar’. One fan summed up, “Seeing Vd in such a rom-com after almost years excited ❤❤”
