The actors shared the poster on their respective social media handles on Thursday, and captioned it: 'Mantron se badhke tera naam Jai Shri Ram .'

 

The film focuses on Raghava, who travels to Lanka with his sena, which includes Laxman and Hanuman, to rescue his wife Janaki from the clutches of Lankesh, who kidnapped her. Saif Ali Khan plays Lankesh.
