As Daayra, the Kareena Kapoor-Prithviraj Sukumaran starrer cop thriller nears its release, the makers have commenced the promotions in full swing. On Tuesday, the Daayra team unveiled new set of posters, also announcing the trailer launch date for the film.

In the new poster, one can see Prithviraj and Kareena look towards the camera in a half-turn, carrying a stern and determined expression on the face. Another important element in the poster is the face of a woman in the background that looms large, wrapped up brutally in ‘the yellow barricade tapes.  “Two officers. Two perspectives. One Truth,” the makers captioned the post. 

The Daayra trailer, meanwhile, will be unveiled on August 31.
