Teaser certification and sneak peek

Before its October release, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) certified the teaser for the film. A total of two minutes and 52 seconds make up the teaser. They gave it the 'UA' seal of approval.

The film's creators also shared an intense sneak peek on social media on Wednesday. Two little children, a boy and a girl, hold hands in the animation. They are probably the film's siblings, played by Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, respectively.

Alia makes a bold promise in a voiceover, saying in Hindi, "I will never let you become anything [bad], ever." The image transforms into the film's title with the words "Stay Tuned!" shown beneath it.

Alia and Vedang had earlier promised fans excellent promotions during an Instagram live dedicated to Raksha Bandhan. The duo even crooned Phoolon Ka Taaron Ka.
