The new poster features Shah Rukh with unkempt hair, a bruise on the face and a piercing stare in his eyes. He is shown surrounded by smoke and fire and has a brooding action-centric look on his face.

He posted the poster on his social media handle captioning, “Aaj phir yaad aayi… Qaatil nahi… Aashiq hoon…” He also announced the date of the film on his post.

There’s also an echo in the line “Qaatil nahi…Aashiq hoon” for fans of Shah Rukh Khan long enough to have followed him. It’s in the title song of his 1999 film Baadshah, where SRK was seen strutting a superhit mix of action and comedy.

The latest poster seems to be getting some fun out of that image of Shah Rukh as the love-boy, but throwing him into a far more rough-and-tumble situation. The rose between his lips pops out against the fire, gun and the blood visible on him.
