"Ek Villain", the surprise hit of 2014, had actors Sidharth Malhotra and Riteish Deshmukh pitted against each other.
Cut to 2019, the two are back in "Marjaavaan" standing up against each other and engaging in stunts and packing punches. The trailer of the film that released on Thursday will take many back to 2014.
Apart from the two actors being foes in the new movie too, the unmissable reference to "Ek Villain" in the trailer is "Galliyan" -- the popular song of the 2014 film. The over-three minute trailer also shows actress Tara Sutaria's character getting killed, similar to what happened to Shraddha Kapoor's character in "Ek Villain".
"Raavan ke dus sarr ke liye ek teer hi kaafi hai?? #MarjaavaanTrailer out now.@Riteishd #TaraSutaria @Rakulpreet @zmilap @nikkhiladvani @marjaavaan," Sidharth tweeted along with the link of the trailer.
Directed by Milap Milan Zaveri, the film also stars Rakul Preet Singh and is set for a November 8 release.
Among those who loved thetrailer is filmmaker Karan Johar, who had launched Sidharth in Bollywood.
"This is what a full on commercial and masala film should be!!!! Seetimaar!!! Dhamakedar!!!! @SidMalhotra rocking the hero! @Riteishd killing it as the villain! Gorgeousness of Tara! Ada of @Rakulpreet @zmilap packing the punches! bit.ly/Marjaavaan-OfficialTrailer… #Marjaavaan SUPERHIT hai," Karan tweeted.
