Hrithik's “Kaabil” trailer released after leak

No horns and no revelry. The trailer launch of Hrithik Roshan's upcoming thriller film “Kaabil” was an understated one. At first glance, what looked like an interesting promotional strategy on the part of the makers for this grim and dark tale was soon revealed to be nothing but a bad case of cyber-crime.

According to a report in Times of India, the fact that both Hrithik and his co-star in “Kaabil”, Yami Gautam, released the trailer of the film suddenly on Twitter on Tuesday evening without any previous notice was induced by the fact that the trailer was already out due to a leak generating from unknown sources. 

Producer Rakesh Roshan and his team at production company FilmKraft initially slated Wednesday for the release of the trailer, also starring Ronit and Rohit Roy. Once the trailer started doing the rounds online, however, the build-up had to be cut short. A 'shocked' Rakesh was then advised by the team to do the next best thing - release the trailer through the official handle as the damage had already been done.

Kaabil features Hrithik and Yami as a visually impaired couple, with the former having to take the role as vigilante when tragedy strikes. Directed by Sanjay Gupta, is slated for a January 26, 2017 release.
