Speaking about the movie, the makers have decided to strictly keep everything under wraps. Before giving out the teaser on July 15, the title and visuals, despite the fact that the film's release is less than three months away, was not revealed at all.
According to a source in the film unit, producer Aditya Chopra wants nothing about the film to be revealed. The strategy to build secrecy around the project was therefore created to raise anticipation and continuously garner hype.
"The makers wanted to position the promise of two of the biggest action heroes of our generation --- Hrithik and Tiger --- taking on each other. Thus, the working title 'Hrithik vs Tiger' came into existence.
"The working title has been widely publicised because the makers wanted just one simple thing --- to register the marketing promise of a showdown between two of the biggest and the best action superstars of Indian cinema," added the source.
Also starring Vaani Kapoor, the Yash Raj Films production is set to release on October 2.
