The brief trailer showed Akhtar’s figure running with his back to the camera in a very hazy frame with train tracks in the middle. While a train siren is audible in the background but no locomotive is visible, the camera zoomed in on him and his jersey with the number 14 filled the entire screen. The movie’s release date, November 16, 2023, was also disclosed in the teaser.
Muhammad Faraz Qaiser, the filmmaker, compared the realisation of a concept he had in 2016 to a dream come true.
