The teaser of the film introduces the two lovers, whose identity remains under wraps. Set in Kashmir, the teaser packs up on some magical moments which put the valley’s scenic beauty at the forefront. Staying true to the classic story of Laila Majnu, the one-minute video shows the couple put a brave front in the face of evil forces who want them to go different ways. Attraction, love, separation and tribulation are some of the themes that have been explored in the teaser. The teaser of the film has been attached to Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania-starrer _Veere Di Wedding_ , which hit the theatres on 1 June, 2018 along with _Bhavesh Joshi Superhero_ .
