It is then shown that the four intelligence officers’ identities have been compromised and thus, taken hostage by a terrorist organisation. With their lives in peril, the only person who can bring them back safe is Adonis, played by Emraan, whose real name is Kabir Anand. “Mera naam toh pataa hai, mera kaam nahi pataa hai (You are familiar with my name, but not my work),” he says as the trailer shows him as a ruthless intelligence officer. In this undercover rescue mission, he is accompanied by fellow agents Isha (Sobhita Dhulipala) and Veer (Vineet Kumar Singh). Shah Rukh shared the trailer on Twitter**.**
