In his tweet, Vidyut also mentioned that it was not his job to expose the fake. The fake tweet read, “You all were supposed to encourage the real talent, right? The trailer of my new film has just been launched” (Translated from Hindi). Recently, the trailer of Vidyut Jammwal's upcoming film, Yaara was released on YouTube, which is directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia. Produced by Tigmanshu Dhulia Films and Azure Entertainment, the much-anticipated movie stars Vidyut, Shruti Haasan, Amit Sadh, Vijay Varma and Kenny Basumatary in the leading roles. If the reports are to be believed, the movie is a remake of the French film A Gang Story.
