The positive response to the trailer of "Wazir" has given the film's director Bejoy Nambiar a reason to smile. Nambiar says he was nervous before coming out with the trailer, but the "overwhelming response" has left him "ecstatic".
"Today as films struggle to get attention it is heartening to see 'Wazir's trailer getting so much love. We released the first teaser exactly a year back. Expecting fatigue, we were nervous on the reception of the new trailer," Nambiar said in a statement.
"The overwhelming response just took us all by surprise. All of us including the promotional team had worked very hard on the trailer and I think I speak for everyone on my team, when I say, we are ecstatic and humbled by the appreciation," he added.
Featuring megastar Amitabh Bachchan and actors like Farhan Akhtar, John Abraham and Neil Nitin Mukesh, the trailer of "Wazir" is packed with action and it also gives a glimpse of the film's storyline.
The movie presents Farhan and John as ATS officers, while Big B plays the role of a physically disabled man with a sharp brain and Aditi is seen as Farhan's love interest.
The trailer, released on November 18, presents chess as an important symbolic game in the movie. With a romantic track in the background, the over two-minute long video shows some romantic moments shared by Farhan and Aditi in the movie.
Written by Abhijaat Joshi and Vindhu Vinod Chopra, "Wazir" is an action drama distributed by Reliance Entertainment, and is set to release on January 8 next year.
