The official teaser for Bengali actor Dev’s Durga Puja release Tekka, directed by Srijit Mukherji, was dropped by the makers on Friday.

The thriller, also starring Rukmini Maitra and Swastika Mukherjee, is scheduled to hit theatres on October 8.

“The stakes are high, and every move is a gamble. The game is on—dare to play? Watch the #Tekka Teaser now,” Dev wrote on social media, sharing the one-minute-43-second long teaser.

Tekka teaser begins with Dev’s character Iqlakh kidnapping a young girl from outside her school as an angry mob chases him. Maya (Rukmini Mitra), a cop, takes charge of the case and launches a hunt for Iqlakh. Swastika also appears in the teaser. As the teaser progresses, Iqlakh poses a question to the audience. “Why do most criminals hail from poor backgrounds?” he asks.

Earlier this week, the official poster for Tekka was unveiled by the makers. In the poster, Rukmini, Dev, and Swastika appear in their respective characters. Dev’s character, Iqlakh, is shown pointing a gun at a little girl’s head, while Rukmini’s Maya and Swastika’s Ira stand beside him.

Swastika’s character poster presents Ira dressed in a sari, clutching a teddy bear. She is featured as the queen of the deck of cards. Meanwhile, Rukmini’s Maya, donning a leather jacket, cropped haircut, and sunglasses, is positioned as the king of the deck, holding a gun.

Tekka marks a reunion between Dev and Srijit after their collaboration in Zulfiqar (2016). The film’s screenplay, co-written by Srijit and Bhaskar Chattopadhyay, is based on a story by Chattopadhyay. Modhura Palit serves as the cinematographer for the film, while Anupam Roy and Ranajoy Bhattacharjee have scored the music for it.

The box office is set for a clash this Durga Puja as Tekka will go up against Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy’s Bohurupi, as well as Pathikrit Basu’s Shastri. Bohurupi stars Abir Chatterjee, Ritabhari Chakraborty, Koushani Mukherjee. Shastri features Mithun Chakraborty, Debasree Roy, Soham Chakraborty, Rajatava Dutta, and Anirban Chakrabarti.

Dev has another release, Khadaan, scheduled this year. The film, directed by Soojit Dutta and co-starring Jisshu Sengupta, is set to hit theatres on December 20.
