Shortly after the teaser release, the makers of Shefali Shah and Vidya Balan’s Jalsa have unveiled a new, intriguing poster. The poster shows two women, Maya and Ruksana, (Balan and Shah respectively) one blindfolded while the other’s mouth taped with the same fold, hinting towards the fact that both the women are connected to some incident but are bound by their situations to either not see it or speak about it. Sharing the poster, Vidya Balan wrote, “Watch her truth become a secret. #Jalsa Trailer out Tomorrow!”
Last week, the makers unveiled the teaser of Jalsa. The short takes the audience into the intense word of Jalsa that is full of thrill, giving us a sneak peek into what lies ahead in this highly engaging and captivating tale.
