Sidharth Malhotra shared the first look of his character in the film, who is handcuffed, and wrote in caption: "Would you believe me if I say it was all just an Ittefaq?" Sonakshi Sinha, who plays the female lead in the film, shared her character's poster, who looks disturbed, and wrote: "Would you believe me if I say it wasn't an Ittefaq?" Karan Johar, who is co-producing the film with Shah Rukh Khan, tweeted on behalf of actor Akshaye Khanna, and wrote: "Only he can divulge if it's an Ittefaq or not!"
