The video was shared by a US-based boutique, further amplifying the buzz around the film. Fans in the comments section couldn’t stop raving about the teaser, calling it a “must-watch cinematic experience.” Interestingly, some viewers compared Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal to that of Arun Govil, who famously played Lord Ram in Ramayan.
