The teaser begins with a crowd crossing the LoC amid heavy military presence. It then transports the audience to a ‘dangerous’ film shoot set in a jungle. Paresh Rawal calls “action” as Suniel Shetty hits Akshay Kumar with a big hammer, injuring his feet. Suniel is also seen falling from a height. The tagline reads, “Real danger and real idiots.” All the cast members are seen entering the jungle with guns, dressed in army outfits as they shoot the film, unaware that ‘real danger’ is lurking just behind. What follows is the group coming face-to-face with a giant gorilla, getting thrashed around and more chaos unfolding.

Did Akshay take a dig on himself?
