Taking to his Instagram handle, Ayushmann Khurrana dropped the promo video which sees him playing dual identities, Aman and Joshua.

Aman is the one who is out to serve the nation, while he terms his hidden identity Joshua as a cafe owner. The video ends with Aman calling his boss and saying, "Jai Hind Sir, Tracker is live, Let the mission begin".

The 37-year-old actor mentioned in the caption, "Aman ho ya Joshua, you will never know what my next move will be. Watch me unfold the sharp skills of an undercover cop. #AnekMissionBegins #Anek In theatres on 27th May 2022."

This is just one of the things that an undercover cop is trained for."
