    The trailer for Akshay Kumar's Rustom finally released today–and it looks promising.

    Akshay Kumar, who has already delivered two superhits in the form of Airlift and Housefull 3, reunites with Neeraj Pandey for Rustom. Neeraj Pandey, who directed actor's Baby and Special 26, is only a producer for this film but that doesn't seem to have affected the outcome.

    Here are the major takeaways from the trailer:

    Akshay Kumar is a patriotic naval officer Rustom Pavri.

    So, clearly upset, he shoots that homewrecker.

    So obviously, he deserves to stand in front of the court and, being the honourable man he is, plead guilty.
