Makers of Rasha Thadani-Abhay Verma starrer Laikey Laikaa drop FIRST poster

The makers of Laikey Laikaa, starring Rasha Thadani and Abhay Verma, have unveiled the first official asset from the film — a striking poster that offers an early glimpse into the project’s mood and visual language. While the film was announced in June 2025, details around its storyline and characters have largely been kept under wraps. The newly released poster does not reveal the faces of the lead actors, choosing instead to rely on symbolism and texture to set the tone. It features two individuals standing opposite each other, their shoes touching on a narrow ledge against a distressed, graffiti-marked wall.

At the centre of the poster is the film’s title, Laikey Laikaa, written in bold, graffiti-style lettering over a heart motif that appears cracked and stained. The visual treatment — chipped paint, splashes of red, and a ...
