Srijit Mukherji has his share of hits and misses. However, the one thing that has remained unquestionable is his Puja successes. From Rajkahini to Ek Je Chhilo Raja to Dawsham Awbotaar and others — the director’s success rate magically goes up with his Puja releases. This year, he collaborated with Dev and his production house for a brand new thriller, Tekka. 

Dev aces the look of a ‘Jack’ in Tekka

Team Tekka, along with Srijit and Dev, has started releasing posters with characters embedded in them. After introducing Rukmini Maitra as Maya — king of a card deck, and Swastika Mukherjee as Ira — Queen of the boardroom Mothers, Dev’s look is revealed on a Jack card. The caption says, “Desperation has its own rules - When the Jack goes all out, chaos follows. Meet Iqlakh.” The actor has a messy look in a pale polyester shirt and a mop in his hand. Does he play a janitor in the film? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, the poster was dropped from Dev’s social media handle. 

In Swastika’s poster, she has cropped hair and kohled eyes, holding a Teddy bear. The caption states, 'All bets are off when the Queen of the boardroom Mothers the game! Introducing Ira!' Rukmini’s look came with the caption, “Meet Maya, who commands the deck and the streets.”

Dev will be back as an action hero in Khadaan 

Meanwhile, Dev’s Khadaan will be released in December. The teaser shows that the actor is back as an action hero. He has been experimenting with his on-screen character. He started as a hero in mainstream commercial films. He then started acting in more serious and sensitive films. His Tonic, Projapoti, Pradhan, and several other films saw massive success at the box office.
