He sports a long mane, a moon crescent on his head, a rudraksh bracelet -- and he sits casually -- with a bored look on his face -- atop a bike with slippers on his feet. The backdrop is of a street with shops with their shutters down.

Amul Vikas Mohan, the film’s producer, shared the poster on Twitter and captioned it: “The teaser poster for Behen Hogi Teri is here... Trailer out soon..”

The film is directed by Ajay K Pannalal.
