The countdown to Daayra has picked up pace with a striking new poster that puts Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran at the center of a tense, law-bound mystery. Shared ahead of the trailer launch on August 31, the artwork leans into the film’s crime thriller mood, placing the two stars back-to-back amid police tape and a shadowy face in the background, instantly sharpening curiosity around their connection and the case at the heart of the story.
New Poster Pushes Daayra’s Mystery Further
The new Daayra poster arrives as the film moves closer to its next big reveal, and it does exactly what a strong thriller campaign should do: disclose very little while heightening intrigue. Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran are framed on opposite sides of the composition, creating the sense of two viewpoints trapped within the same legal and moral conflict.
The visual language is deliberate. The police tape, obscured figure and split framing all hint at a story built around concealment, accountability and competing truths. With the trailer confirmed for August 31, the campaign is clearly steering audiences toward questions rather than answers, which suits the film’s premise.
Meghna Gulzar Reunites With Junglee Pictures
Daayra is directed by Meghna Gulzar and is inspired by true events. The screenplay is credited to Yash Keswani, Sima Agarwal and Meghna Gulzar. The film also marks the first collaboration between Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios, while reuniting Gulzar with Junglee Pictures after Talvar and Raazi. It is also the first time Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran have shared screen space. The film is produced by Junglee Pictures and Dr. Jayantilal Gada of Pen Studios, and will be distributed by Pen Marudhar. Current listings and recent coverage around the film also place its theatrical release on September 18, 2026.

The film’s setup, as suggested by the poster and official description, points to a crime drama where truth, justice and accountability collide. That combination, along with Gulzar’s track record in layered real-world dramas, gives Daayra a strong position heading into its trailer launch.
Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Recent And Upcoming Work
For Kareena Kapoor Khan, Daayra follows a phase where she has leaned into darker, more character-driven material. Her recent releases include The Buckingham Murders and Singham Again, both of which kept her visible across distinctly different genres. Database listings also show Daayra in post-production as part of her 2026 slate.
