In the teaser, the actor guides viewers through Azharuddin's life from being a famed cricketer to being termed a traitor. The magic of Emraan's voice backs the trailer, without giving a visual glimpse of the actor, whose look as Azhar was earlier revealed via a poster of the film.

While in character, Emraan tells viewers the three things that describe him in the best way -- a person who believes in god; his marital status and a black spot in his career due to match-fixing allegations.
In the teaser, 'The Dirty Picture' actor is seen walking out of the pavilion amid a cheering crowd. The visuals segue from a happy fan moment to riots and burning of an effigy.
