Watch the first look teaser of Laal Kaptaan here:

Saif Ali Khan plays the role of a Naga Sadhu in Navdeep Singh's upcoming revenge drama. Talking about the effort put into looking the part, Khan, in a previous interview with mid-day, had said, "I had to invest two hours a day for the make-up. [Shooting for the film was] like going to war every day."

Laal Kaptaan is shot in the lesser-known parts of Rajasthan. Khan revealed that they filmed in mud and heat to add meaning and depth to the film's premise. The actor told mid-day, "I play a revengeful Naga Sadhu. He kills a British soldier, and wears a bandana to look cool."

The makers of Laal Kaptaan had courted controversy when movie-lovers pointed out the similarities between Saif Ali Khan's look in Laal Kaptaan and Johnny Depp's look in Pirates Of The Caribbean. "I can't believe I let that happen," Saif told mid-day, and added, "My nephew Kiaan [Karisma Kapoor's son] and son [Ibrahim] saw the photographs before they had leaked, and said, 'Hey, that's Jack Sparrow.' The resemblance was because of the jacket and dreadlocks. While filming, I never thought about it. If I did, I wouldn't have done it. But, everything will make sense when you see the film." Laal Kaptaan releases on October 11, 2019.
