Dev and Jisshu are two men on a mission in the ‘Khadaan’ teaser

The clip is packed with action, but has a story of friendship at its core

Dev Adhikari seems to be pulling out all stops in his upcoming film, Khadaan, which he is producing too. The recently released teaser has the actor in a new look, with long hair and a dense beard, chain-smoking as he hacks through a horde of goons with an axe. He is joined by Jisshu Sengupta, who proves to be the perfect foil with a character that has an artistic musical vibe at his core. The storyline is set against the backdrop of an industrial revolution in rural Bengal, with Dev leading the charge. Social justice seems to be a central anchor too, and the rustic visuals transport audiences with the feel of a period drama. The teaser touches upon themes of friendship, greed and vengeance — promising a through-and-through entertainer as Khadaan releases just in time for Christmas, on December 20.
