The first trailer of the film was released today, showcasing multiple intriguing looks of SRK and teasing a star-studded supporting cast.

It opens with an enigmatic voiceover, delivered by SRK's character, questioning his identity and purpose. He states in Hindi, "Who am I? What am I? I do not know... A promise made to a mother, or a purpose unfinished.
Am I good or bad, a blessing or a curse? Ask yourself. Because I am you, for better or for worse." The accompanying visuals suggest that SRK's character, named Jawan, was born in a prison and later served in the police and the army. However, he appears to go rogue and transform into a vigilante seeking justice.
The trailer also offers glimpses of a chaotic scene in a subway station, where a crowd of people wearing masks similar to Jawan's is seen stampeding. This sequence hints at a possible inspiration from Todd Phillips' "Joker." Throughout the trailer, Jawan is shown in various over-the-top disguises.
