The teaser poster for the film, starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Jacqueline Fernandez, was released on Twitter by producer Karan Johar today. The snazzy teaser poster shows a glimpse of the fast-paced racing that will form the crux of Mansukhani's story. From the look, the film has a very 'Fast and Furious' feel, with street cars speeding off a grid.
