After sharing two posters from the movie earlier in the day, Phantom Films dropped a one minute twenty-five seconds teaser from the upcoming superhero drama, Bhavesh Joshi Superhero.

The teaser starts with a voiceover in Harshvardhan's husky voice saying, “Hero paida nahi hota, banta hai (A hero is not born, he is created).” In the teaser, a masked clad Harsh is seen fighting against the injustice in the city. And while throughout the teaser, one cannot see the actor's face, it is compensated with high octane action sequences.

And while the teaser looks promising in all its vigilante avatar, many sequences in the teaser resemble a lot like its Hollywood counterparts such as Deadpool, Batman, etc. Although the Twitterati's seem quite excited about the film, we hope this isn't another Bollywood spoof which copies western flicks.

In an interview earlier, Harshvardhan spoke about the film and clarified that although it looks like a superhero film, it is much more than that. It revolves around the story of a young man’s quest for revenge and his destiny to serve for something much bigger in life. This film is sure to pack a few punches at the box-office with its with well-crafted action sequences.

Speaking about his director, Vikramaditya Motwane, who has previously helmed intense dramas such as Lootera, Udaan and Trapped, Harsh informed a leading daily, “It’s Vikramaditya Motwane so you can trust him to do something original. I am still so new in acting and it has been my second experience. I am very blessed to have two amazing directors. They are my favourite directors in India. I have worked with them in my first two films.”
