The film was earlier slated to release on October 11, but will now hit theatres on October 18. The film is about a naga sadhu who takes on a journey ridden with revenge, deceit, and drama. The role wasn’t an easy one, as the actor revealed having to get his ears pierced and grow his hair. In fact, he said that it would take him anything from 40 minutes to 2 hours to get ready for every scene.

I found the Teaser & Posters of #SaifAliKhan's #LaalKaptaan very interesting. He tries something different everytime. It'd be interesting to see what new or different this this action drama based on revenge offers. Awaiting the trailer. @aanandlraia

18th Oct I think, is a bad date… Coz next weekend you will practically be thrown out of the theatres since 3 films are releasing on Diwali weekend. But, I have hope and faith in #NavdeepSingh, 1st November would have been a much better date… I think #LaalKaptaan

Reports also suggest that Sonakshi Sinha will be seen in a special appearance in the film. The actor’s voice will also be used in the film as a background voiceover. Director Navdeep spoke about her appearance in the film, “It’s a special appearance but a pivotal one. I wanted somebody who would leave an impression, someone with star quality and appeal. Sonakshi fit the bill perfectly. I’ll leave her part as a mystery. All I’ll say is she’s the most glamorous thing in the film.”
