For the unversed, the Anil Kapoor’s AKFC production banner is partnering with American studio Lionsgate’s first Indian film.

Inspired by the limited comic book series of the same name, the Hollywood film also starred John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Karl Urban and Marie-Louise Parker.

However, the cast of the Bollywood version is still being finalised.

Earlier, the Dil Dhadakne Do actor posted the intriguing teaser poster on Twitter and wrote, “And here it is! We bring you the multi-starrer action-comedy phenomenon #RED! Let the adventure begin! @Lionsgate”

Like its Hollywood poster, this Hindi version too has a reddish tint and grungy background, but we see silhouettes of the stars instead of the stars themselves.
