First look poster and release date of Saif Ali Khan's upcoming film 'Laal Kaptaan' released.

New Delhi: In a never before seen avatar, actor Saif Ali Khan will be seen playing a 'naga sadhu' in his upcoming film 'Laal Kaptaan', earlier titled 'Hunter'. The very mention of the character is intriguing and a look at the poster, which reveals a tiny bit of Khan's character, will surely blow your mind away. Yes, that is how intense the poster of the film is! Saif dons kohl-rimmed eyes, a long tilak on the forehead, a huge bun of dread-locked hair with ash smeared on his face - just like the 'naga sadhus' do. The tilak on the character's forehead extends into a trail of blood ending at a man's body, dragged and lying prostrate. Everything about the poster spells just one word- suspense. Going by the look and feel of the first-look, the movie will surely take viewers on a rollercoaster ride into the dark world of drama, suspense, thriller and revenge. Along with the poster featuring Saif, the makers also announced the release date. The film, directed by Navdeep Singh, will hit the big screen on September 6.
