The teaser opens with two men riding a bike as they talk about cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni. One of them says, "Is he a Sardar?" And the other one responds with, "No way, he is a Rajput. A Sardar! And, why are you even stuck between these castes - Rajput, Sardar etc.? He is very much like us. He came from grass root level and rose to this stature."
Soon, they cover their faces and gear up for an attack. Sharing the teaser, Sudhir wrote on Twitter, "Watch! Introducing a rare talent: director Rajeev Baranwal. Terrific cast.

Said to be inspired by true events, the show Jehanabad is a crime drama set in a small town of Bihar in 2005. Given the teaser, the show seems to be set in the backdrop of the 2005 incident in which 372 inmates escaped from Jehanabad jail after a Naxalites attack in November 2005.
