Kapoor's intense transformation is the highlight of the trailer

The plot centers on Bhatia's fight to clear her name, safeguard her country, and seek retribution against those who deceived her. In the two-minute and 33-second clip, audiences are introduced to a Kapoor they may have never seen before.

Kapoor's fashion choice sparked online reactions during trailer launch
Meanwhile, Kapoor's outfit choice at the Ulajh trailer launch event on Monday stirred amusing reactions online. After attending Anant Ambani's wedding celebrations, Kapoor appeared in a monochrome ensemble from Balmain for the trailer launch. The strapless gown, featuring a high front slit and resembling a black and white tuxedo, drew comparisons to outfits worn by internet personality Uorfi Javed. Despite some commendation for Kapoor's daring fashion choice, many internet users humorously noted the similarity to Javed's flamboyant style.
