Sharing Nawaz’s picture, Salman tweeted, “The Freak Nawaz, poor man in the rich man sports who became the game changer #Freakyali”

The first look of the film was released on Friday. The picture has Nawazuddin ditch his usual rustic looks and play a suave golfer.

Brothers Salman, Arbaaz and Sohaail will launch the first trailer of Freaky Ali on Sunday at a grand event in Mumbai.

“I’ve been practicing the game (golf) for the last one year and it has taught me the virtue of patience. That’s where the concept of Freaky Ali struck me. It was delighting to have wrapped up the film in 40 days with shoots in Mumbai, Delhi and Pune and within a certain budget. This is the first time my production costs have run into single digits,” Sohail said.

The film is slated to release on September 9, 2016.
